Question 1

How do I check if a website is safe?

Accepted Answer

Paste the URL into the Website Safety Checker above and click Scan. The tool analyses the destination for phishing indicators, suspicious redirects, domain age, download traps, and known malicious patterns. Within seconds you get one of four results: no threat detected, suspicious signals found, threat detected, or could not complete checks. The result is a probabilistic assessment, not a guarantee.

Question 2

What makes a link dangerous?

Accepted Answer

A link can be dangerous if it redirects you through multiple domains to hide its true destination, leads to a newly registered domain impersonating a trusted brand (typosquatting), forces an unexpected file download, or lands on a page designed to steal your login credentials (phishing). Our scanner checks for all of these.

Question 3

Can I scan QR codes with this tool?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can scan QR codes using your device camera or by uploading a QR code image. The tool extracts the embedded URL and runs the same checks, so a QR code gets the same analysis as a link you paste in. That covers quishing, where a phishing link is hidden inside a QR code.

Question 4

Is this website checker free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Website Safety Checker is completely free with no sign-up required. For continuous, automatic protection of your inbox, check out Ṣọ Email Security.

Question 5

Does this tool store the URLs I scan?

Accepted Answer

No. Your scanned URLs are analysed in real time and not stored or logged. Your privacy is fully protected.
