I assume you want to shorten the url only when displayed, not as a href value. You can do it using the following function:

// function ensuring that return value won't be longer than max, including ellipsis (...)
function shorten(text, max = 30) {
    return (text && text.length > max) ? (text.substring(0, max - 3) + "...") : url;
}

Here is a way to test shorten()

const url = "https://mozodeals.com/threads/iqoo-12-5g-worlds-fastest-processor-snapdragon%C2%AE-8-gen-3-12gb-ram-and-256gb-rom.19/";

function createLink(url) {
    document.write(`<a href=${url}>${shorten(url, 20)}</a>`);
}

createLink(url);

I hope that is what you were looking for
