Suspicious Link Checker

Paste a link before you click it. We break down the warning signs in plain English — look-alike domains, the “@” trick, hidden redirects and more. It all runs in your browser; the link is never sent anywhere.

Important: this flags common warning signs — it can’t confirm a link is safe. A clean-looking address can still be malicious, and a flagged one may be harmless. When in doubt, don’t click; type the company’s address yourself. Learn the tells in our phishing quiz.
