Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if a link is safe?
Paste the full URL or domain into the checker above and click Check URL. The tool queries two independent threat databases and runs structural heuristic checks. You’ll get a trust score, database results, and a full signal breakdown — no signup required.
What does it mean if a URL is listed on Spamhaus DBL?
Spamhaus DBL is one of the most authoritative domain block lists in the world, used by major ISPs and enterprises. A listing means the domain has been identified as associated with spam, phishing, or malware. Treat any listed domain as a confirmed threat and do not visit it.
Is a clean result a guarantee the site is safe?
No. A clean result means no known threat was found at the time of checking. New phishing pages are created constantly. Use this tool as a first line of defense, not the only one.
What are the signs of a phishing URL?
Key warning signs include HTTP without HTTPS, a risky TLD (.xyz, .tk, .gq), a newly registered domain, deep subdomain nesting, non-ASCII characters, and URL shorteners. Also see: How to check if a link is safe.
What should I do if I already clicked a suspicious link?
Act quickly: disconnect from the internet, run a malware scan, change passwords, and monitor for unusual activity. If you entered payment details, contact your bank. Read the full guide →
How does this tool differ from Google Safe Browsing?
Google Safe Browsing flags pages when you try to visit them. This tool lets you check a link before clicking — without risking a redirect. It combines two independent threat feeds with heuristic analysis for a more detailed breakdown.
