Scan every link before
your visitor arrives.

Every link created on Truthylink is checked against Google Safe Browsing the moment it's created — and rechecked whenever its destination changes. Dangerous links get blocked outright. Everything else gets a clear safe or caution signal, before a single visitor clicks.

How the scan works

Three checks, run automatically, with no setup required.

01

Checked against Google Safe Browsing

Every destination URL is submitted to Google's threat database, screening for malware, phishing, unwanted software, and harmful applications — the same database Chrome and Search use.

02

HTTPS verified

Clean URLs are then checked for a valid HTTPS connection. Plain-HTTP destinations that pass the threat scan still get flagged "caution" rather than a full safe badge.

03

Rechecked on every edit

Change a link's destination and the scan runs again automatically. You can also trigger a manual recheck any time from the link's dashboard.

What your visitor sees

Every redirect shows one of three states — never a silent pass-through.

Verified safe

Clean Safe Browsing result and valid HTTPS. Visitor proceeds straight through.

Caution

Clean threat scan, but the destination is plain HTTP. Visitor sees a warning before continuing.

Blocked

Google Safe Browsing flagged the destination for malware, phishing, or harmful software. Redirect is blocked.
