Safe URL checker
What is a Safe URL Checker?
The Safe URL Checker submits a URL to the Google Safe Browsing database, which tracks known malware, phishing, and unwanted-software sites, and reports whether the URL has been flagged.
Why Check URL Safety
- Before clicking or sharing — Quickly vet a link from an email, message, or unfamiliar source before opening it.
- Reputation monitoring — Site owners can periodically confirm their own domain hasn't been flagged, which can happen after a compromise or spam injection.
- Browser warnings — Google Safe Browsing is the same database Chrome, Firefox, and Safari use to show the red "Deceptive site ahead" warning page.
