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.

Included in every plan iOS, Android, macOS, Windows

AVO Link Checker

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.
