Phishing link checker — is this link safe to click?
Paste a URL and we'll inspect the domain for lookalikes, weird sub-domains, known scam TLDs, and other phishing red flags — then give you a plain-English verdict. We never open the link.
Common questions
Is this link safe to click?
Paste the URL above and we'll inspect the domain in seconds. We check for lookalike domains (paypa1.com), unusual sub-domain stacking, recently registered TLDs commonly used for scams, IP-address URLs, and other phishing red flags. We never open or fetch the link.
How can I tell if a link is a phishing scam?
Hover (don't click) to preview the real destination. Watch for misspellings of brand names, extra words in the domain (apple-secure-login.com), random subdomains, and links sent unexpectedly via SMS or email pressuring you to log in or pay. When in doubt, open the brand's site by typing it into your address bar instead of clicking.
Does this link checker open or download the page?
No. We analyze the URL string only — we never make a network request to the link. That means we won't trigger any drive-by downloads or alert the scammer that you checked it.
What does a 'suspicious' verdict mean?
We found at least one phishing red flag but not enough to be certain. Treat it as a 'do not enter credentials' verdict: don't log in, don't enter card details, and verify the company through a separate trusted channel before acting on the message.
What if I already clicked the link or entered my password?
Change that password immediately on the real site, then anywhere else you reused it. Turn on two-factor authentication. If you entered card details, call your bank and freeze the card. If it was a work account, tell your IT team — speed matters more than embarrassment.
