Link safety checker
Check any URL for malware and phishing threats. We'll trace the full redirect chain and verify the final destination against safety databases.
How it works
Paste URL
Enter the link you want to check, including short URLs like bit.ly.
Analysis
We trace the redirect path and query transparency reports.
Verdict
Get a clear result: safe, suspicious, or dangerous.
Frequently asked questions
What does the link safety checker do?
It follows all redirects on a URL, checks the final destination against Google Safe Browsing, and reports whether the link is safe, suspicious, or dangerous.
Does it work with short URLs like bit.ly?
Yes. We resolve all redirects first, so short links are expanded before being checked.
What makes a link 'suspicious'?
A link is marked suspicious when it uses HTTP instead of HTTPS, or when we couldn't fully resolve all redirects. It doesn't necessarily mean it's malicious—just that you should be cautious.
Is the check instant?
Most checks complete in a few seconds. It can take longer if the URL has many redirects or the destination server is slow to respond.
