URL Safety Checker

Check if a URL is safe before clicking. Analyze HTTPS, suspicious domains, phishing indicators, and more — entirely in your browser.

Why This Matters

Phishing attacks are the most common cyber threat. The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) recorded over 5 million phishing attacks in 2023 — the worst year on record.

Attackers create convincing fake websites that look identical to real ones. By checking a URL before clicking, you can spot red flags like suspicious TLDs, IP addresses instead of domains, and homograph attacks using lookalike characters.

This tool performs client-side analysis only. No URLs are sent to any server. For comprehensive protection, combine this with a browser extension that checks URLs against known phishing databases.
