CHECKLINK AI
URL and redirect signals

URL Safety Checker

Review domain, redirect, and URL structure signals so you understand where a link really goes.

What it checks

Input URL
Final URL
Final domain
Hop count
HTTPS signal
Domain mismatch
Deep subdomains
Punycode and unusual encoding

Limitations

CheckLink provides risk signals and review context, not a guarantee. Verify sensitive links through official channels before acting.

URL safety is about the destination

The text in a message may say one thing while the URL sends you somewhere else. URL safety starts with the final domain and the redirect path.

Short links and tracking redirects
Unexpected final domains
Encoded or unusual hostnames

Signals, not certainty

A URL safety checker can help you slow down and inspect the destination. It cannot guarantee that a website will remain safe after the scan.

Use official channels for sensitive actions
Request manual review for confusing paths
Document results with Quick Report

FAQ

Are redirects unsafe?

No. Redirects are common. They become more important when they hide or change the final destination.

Can HTTPS prove a URL is safe?

No. HTTPS protects the connection, but it does not prove the page is legitimate.

Can I check campaign URLs?

Yes. Use Bulk Check first and request manual review for higher-stakes sends.

Does CheckLink store URL safety scans?

The current public scanner does not provide account-based scan history.
