LinkGuard
See where the link really goes before you click.
What is LinkGuard?
Shortened URLs, tracking redirects, and obfuscated links hide where you actually end up. A link that says “google.com” might bounce through three tracking domains before landing on a phishing page.
LinkGuard resolves the full redirect chain before you click. Hover any link and see the real destination, its domain reputation, whether it looks like a typosquatting attempt, and if it appears on any known blacklist.
Features
- Full redirect chain resolution - Follows every redirect from the visible URL to the final destination. No surprises.
- Domain reputation scoring - Rates the destination domain based on age, category, and known reports.
- Typosquatting detection - Flags domains that look like misspellings of popular sites (g00gle.com, paypa1.com).
- PhishTank/Safe Browsing verification - Cross-references destinations against Google Safe Browsing and PhishTank databases.
- Visual page preview - Shows a thumbnail of the destination page so you can see what awaits before you click.
- SSL check on destination - Verifies that the final destination uses valid HTTPS.
Who is it for?
Built for anyone who clicks links. Whether you get them in emails, social media, or messaging apps, LinkGuard shows you the truth before you leave the page.
