Decide whether to open a link

Paste a link from an email or message. Add the words shown with it if they name a company. Check the destination, redirects, site name, connection, and common address tricks before deciding what to do.

Paste the link

If the email shows a button: On a computer, right-click the button and choose “Copy link address” (wording varies by email app). On a phone, press and hold the button, then choose “Copy link.” Paste it below without opening it. If your app does not offer a copy option, use a computer or view the message source; do not tap the button to find out where it goes.

Checks public redirects, address tricks, connection errors, and a small HTML sample when available. It never runs page scripts. The result shows whether a threat-list service was used; when connected, the checked address is sent to that provider. A result without warnings cannot prove a page is safe.

A button can show friendly words while its actual link points elsewhere. Copy the link address from the message without opening it, then paste that address into this tool. Compare the displayed company name with the destination and any redirects.

Does a clean result mean the page is safe?

No. The checker inspects bounded public redirects and a limited page sample; it does not run the page's scripts or prove who controls it. A scam can use a legitimate hosting domain or change after a check. For sign-in or payment requests, type the organization's address yourself.
