FAQ

Does this tool guarantee a URL is safe?

No. It is a first-pass risk screen based on observable signals. Use deeper security scans for final decisions.

Short links are not always unsafe, but they hide destination context. Validate them before sharing or clicking.

Avoid clicking, preserve evidence, and run a deep analysis in your security workflow.
