LINK CHECKER
Check where a link goes without going there
Paste or share a link and AVO follows every redirect on your behalf, then tells you the destination, who owns it, how old the domain is and whether it is already known for phishing.
How it works
1. Share the link
From a message, an email or the share sheet, without opening it first.
2. See the real destination
Shortened links are expanded all the way through, so a chain of redirects cannot hide the end of it.
3. Decide
A plain verdict with the reasons behind it, rather than a score you have to interpret.
Questions about this feature
How do I know if a link is safe
Check where it actually lands before opening it. A shortened link can pass through several redirects, and the last one is the one that matters.
Does checking a link visit the site
AVO resolves it from its own infrastructure, not from your device, so nothing is traced back to you.
