"Wie geht's" is the correct form because it's "Wie geht es" but shortened.
"Wie gehts" doesn't really exist but you might come across it when chatting with a German because they are probably just too lazy to bother with the apostrophe ;)

Wie geht‘s ist die richtige Schreibform. „Wie gehts“ eigentlich nicht korrekt.

Both are correct.
"Ein Apostroph kann dort gesetzt werden, wo das Pronomen „es“ zu „s“ verkürzt wird.
Beispiele: Wie geht’s? Mach’s gut! Sag’s mir! Wenn’s weiter nichts ist.
Die Nutzung von Apostrophen ist in diesem Fall aber nicht zwingend nötig, man kann sie hier laut neuer Rechtschreibung auch weglassen."
