5 Platforms That Help You Know If A Website Is Safe And Trustworthy
Check out five options to see if a website's reliability can be verified using a link checker platform, which can be a useful tool to maintain online security.
It is important to be aware when browsing the internet that a certain website is safe and trustworthy so that you can avoid headaches while shopping online or for any other purpose. Whenever you access a malicious webpage, you are at risk of revealing personal information or even getting a virus on your computer. As a result, it is important to make sure that you paste the URL of the link into a URL checker before clicking on the link to make sure that it is safe to click. One of the platforms that performs the process of analyzing the legitimacy of a domain is Google Transparency Report. It scans the domain to make sure that there are no malicious files on it. The tool will show a positive result if there is no risk associated with the website, thus recommending it be used, if there is no threat.
As another alternative, ScanURL provides a dashboard of several reports gathered from several other platforms so you can see a complete picture of a website’s reliability in one place. To help users find out if a website is safe or not, we have listed five websites that can be used to check the links on a website.
1. Norton Safe Web
With the help of Norton Safe Web (https://safeweb.norton.com/), you can scan websites to verify if they contain any types of threats, such as malware, spyware, or viruses, before they publish them. The software has a simple interface and is easy to operate. The address of the desired website can simply be pasted into the search bar and pressed enter to open it. Based on the information obtained from the report, Norton will be able to determine whether a link is safe, warn you to be careful, or suggest that you do not use it at all.
The owners of websites that have been flagged as dangerous can still contest the results and submit a comment explaining why they believe their website is trustworthy if they choose to do so. Also, there are two extensions for Chrome that are available on the platform that are designed to indicate whether a link is secure from both the address bar of the browser as well as from the search results.
2. ScanURL
The ScanURL (https://scanurl.net/) service utilizes reports gathered from other platforms in order to determine whether or not a given website is safe, such as PhishTank or Web of Trust. The platform will recommend using a particular address if all diagnostics confirm that it is reliable for use. It is as simple as scrolling down the page to perform a search, entering the desired address, your name, and a comment explaining how you found the link in question and explaining how you found it. As well as the result from the search, the platform shows the IP address of the URL, the location of the URL and the identity of the person who owns the URL.
3. Google Transparency Report
This Google Safe Browsing tool (https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search) is meant to help you identify and avoid potential malware and phishing scams on various websites. In addition to Transparency Reports’ use of safe browsing technology, it also displays ads in the sidebar of your browser when it encounters a dangerous domain and provides you with the option of avoiding that domain. Simply paste a URL into the search field in order to check the status of the URL. Based on the results of the analysis, the platform will be able to confirm or deny the reliability of a particular site.
4. Link Checker

5. Can I Trust?

It may be possible for a specific URL to be displayed in this way, but you can check this by simply pasting the URL into the platform’s home page.
