Frequently Asked Questions
Is this link safe to click?
Paste the URL into our checker and we will follow every redirect, verify the final destination against Google Safe Browsing, and tell you whether the link is safe, suspicious, or dangerous -- all before you click.
How can I tell if a link is a phishing attempt?
Phishing links often use look-alike domains (e.g., paypa1.com instead of paypal.com), unnecessary redirects, and missing HTTPS. Our tool flags all of these so you can spot phishing before entering any personal information.
Are shortened URLs safe?
Not always. Short URLs from services like bit.ly or t.co hide the real destination. Our checker expands shortened links and inspects the final URL so you can see exactly where you would end up.
Does this tool protect me from malware?
We check every link against Google Safe Browsing, which covers known malware distribution sites. While no tool catches every threat, this significantly reduces your risk of landing on a malicious page.
Can I check a link without visiting it?
Yes. Our server follows the redirect chain on your behalf so your browser never contacts the destination. You see the full path and safety verdict without any risk.
