Safe URL checker
Use the Safe URL checker to review a URL reputation result. Enter the exact link, inspect the response, and understand why a clean result is not a safety guarantee.
Safe URL checker for a link reputation check
The Safe URL checker helps you inspect the reputation result returned for a supplied web address. It is a useful preliminary check when reviewing an unfamiliar link, but the response needs to be interpreted alongside the destination and the context in which you received it.
How to use the Safe URL checker
- Copy the actual destination address, rather than only its visible label.
- Paste the complete address into URL.
- Select Submit.
- Read the returned status and any error message before deciding what to do next.
Understand the result
A reputation check can identify resources covered by its underlying threat information. It cannot guarantee that an unlisted destination is harmless. New threats, changed content, redirects, and differences between addresses can affect what a check establishes.
An unavailable lookup or service error is not a clean result. Keep the exact tested URL when recording your finding, and do not remove a path or query component if doing so would change the destination you meant to inspect.
Common questions
Should I enter information after a clean result?
Review the domain, requested action, and source of the link. A status response alone does not establish who operates the destination or whether a request is appropriate.
Can a certificate replace this check?
A certificate concerns the connection. It is a different signal from a resource reputation result.
