Know before you click.
Linkspector is a free URL safety scanner that checks any link for phishing, malware, spoofing, and 30+ threat signals in seconds. No account required, no setup, no interpretation needed.
Links arrive from everywhere. Most look legitimate.
A text from your courier. An invoice from a supplier. A password reset you did not request. Most look real enough to click.
Attackers register convincing domains days before a campaign launches and abandon them hours after. The link is gone before most threat databases know it existed. Linkspector checks before you click, not after.
In Australia, scammers routinely impersonate myGov, Australia Post, CommBank, and the ATO. Linkspector includes Australian brand intelligence built specifically to catch these - and every scan you run helps keep that intelligence current.
30+ threat signals, every scan
Every free scan runs a full heuristic check across URL structure, domain age, encoding patterns, and known attack signatures. Pro adds real-time lookups from two external threat intelligence sources, plus automatic resolution of shortened and tracking links.
How your data is handled
URL structure and signals are analysed locally. Scan results contribute to Linkspector's Australian threat intelligence database, helping identify emerging phishing patterns targeting Australian users and brands.
In addition to local analysis, shortened links are automatically resolved to their final destination, and the URL is submitted to VirusTotal and Google Safe Browsing for real-time reputation checks. No data is sold or shared for commercial purposes.
By using Linkspector, your scans contribute to a growing dataset of Australian-specific threat intelligence. This is what makes Linkspector more effective over time for everyone in Australia.
Why not just use VirusTotal?
You can. But VirusTotal requires an account, API knowledge, and manual result interpretation. Google Safe Browsing requires developer setup. Linkspector runs both, plus 30+ local checks and automatic shortened link resolution, in a single paste. You get a clear Safe or Blocked result. No setup. No expertise required.
