Checked in layers
The LinkVerdict Scan Engine looks at the link, destination, page behavior, known warning lists, and our own stored warning database together.

Is this link safe? Check it before you open it.

Our own scan engine
Powered by the LinkVerdict Scan Engine.
LinkVerdict does not only pass your link through external lookup tools. Our own scan engine checks where the link goes, known warning lists, suspicious page requests, secure connection signals, screenshots, and our own warning database.
That means you get more than a raw warning list: you get a calm answer, a LinkVerdict Score, how sure the result is, warning signs, reassuring signs, and practical advice before you click.

Our own scan engine
LinkVerdict does not only pass your link to outside tools. We combine outside checks with our own rules and database.
Plain answer, deeper details
You get the answer first. The detailed checks are still there when you want to review them.
What you get
A clear answer before the details.
Most link checkers make you read raw data first. LinkVerdict starts with your real question: can you trust this link right now?

Your answer comes first
Start with a clear Safe to visit? answer before you read any details.
2
You get practical next steps
Know whether to close the page, avoid paying, open the official site yourself, or change a password.
3
Details stay available
Open the deeper checks only when you want to understand exactly what LinkVerdict saw.
How it works
Five calm checks turn a suspicious link into a clear answer.
LinkVerdict checks the link without logging in, submitting forms, or trying to break the website.
1
Where your link goes
We check the website address and where the link ends up.
You can see if the link takes you somewhere unexpected.2
Known warning signs
We compare the link with known warning lists and LinkVerdict's own database.
You see if this link has already been flagged.3
What the page asks you to do
We look for signs that the page wants passwords, payment details, downloads, or urgent action.
You get advice before you share anything sensitive.4
Secure connection check
We check whether the secure connection looks normal.
A normal connection is reassuring, but it is not proof the site is legitimate.5
