Link checker

Is this link safe?

Paste any URL and Trust.ai checks it for phishing before you click. We follow every redirect to the page it really opens, look up how old the domain is, match it against the verified sender registry, and show the evidence behind every risk point. Free, no account needed.

We never open the link on your device.

How the phishing link checker works

Redirect trace

Shortened and tracking links are followed hop by hop so you see the host that actually serves the page, not the one printed in the message.

Domain age

Registration records tell us how old the domain is. Most phishing domains are days or weeks old; a decades-old domain is a strong safety signal.

Verified registry match

The final host is compared against businesses that proved control of their domain in the Trust.ai registry, so real company links are recognised.

Language patterns

Wording around fees, suspended accounts, held parcels, one-time codes and document uploads is scored against known phishing phrasing.

Link safety questions

How do I check if a link is safe?
Paste the full URL into the checker above. Trust.ai follows every redirect to the page the link really lands on, looks up when the domain was registered, compares the final host against the Trust.ai verified sender registry, and scores wording patterns used in phishing pages. You get a 0-100 risk score with the evidence behind each point.
What is a phishing link?
A phishing link points to a page built to look like a bank, courier, employer or government service so you hand over passwords, one-time codes, card details or identity documents. The page is usually hosted on a domain registered days earlier, often reached through one or more redirect hops from a shortened link.
What makes a link suspicious?
The strongest signals are a domain registered in the last few weeks, several redirect hops, a brand name that appears in the path or subdomain instead of the registered domain, an unusual top-level domain, and urgency wording such as fees, suspended accounts or held parcels.
Is the link checker free?
Yes. URL checks run without an account. Signing in adds saved history and access to the full forensic check for whole messages, screenshots and sender identity.
I already clicked the link. What should I do?
Do not enter anything on the page. Close it, change the password for any account you may have typed into it, enable two-factor authentication, and contact the real company using a number or address you look up yourself, never one from the message.

A link check is one signal, not a guarantee. If the message also asks for money, documents or a one-time code, run the full message check or look the sender up in the registry.
