URL threat analysis and safety checking

We analyze URL safety (phishing, malware, scams), SSL certificate status, domain age and reputation, redirect chains, security headers, blacklist presence, hosting information, and use AI-powered threat detection for comprehensive analysis.

Safe (Green): No threats detected. Low (Blue): Minor issues, generally safe. Medium (Yellow): Some concerns, proceed with caution. High (Orange): Significant risks detected. Critical/Malicious (Red): Known threats, avoid accessing.

Our 0-100 risk score combines multiple factors: blacklist checks against 50+ databases, domain reputation, SSL analysis, content inspection, redirect analysis, and machine learning threat detection with confidence scoring.

Yes! Copy any suspicious URL and paste it into URL Lookup without visiting it. We'll safely analyze the link and show you if it's safe to visit. Great for checking links in emails or messages.

Our threat databases are updated continuously. We aggregate data from multiple security vendors, community reports, and our own detection systems. New threats are typically added within hours of discovery.

Yes! If you find a malicious URL not detected by our scanner, report it using the "Report URL" button. Our team reviews submissions and adds confirmed threats to our database to protect other users.

Our initial analysis is passive and doesn't visit the URL directly. For full analysis, we do make requests to the URL, which may appear in their logs. Your IP is never exposed—only our scanner IPs.
