In plain English
A Google service that keeps a list of dangerous websites. Our link checker uses it to tell you if a URL is reported as phishing or malware.
Google Safe Browsing provides lists of URLs and resources that have been reported for phishing or malware. Browsers and third-party tools (like our link checker) can query it to warn users before they visit a dangerous site.
Our link safety checker follows redirects and then checks the final URL against Safe Browsing so you get a clear safe, suspicious, or dangerous result without clicking.
