NordVPN’s URL Checker Tool
The folks at NordLabs (NordVPN’s experimental playground designed to produce cybersecurity innovations) have put together a handy tool that can help you determine whether a URL is safe. This manual URL checker scans sites for malware and phishing attacks and checks the legitimacy of web pages before you follow them. By doing so, you can avoid malware downloads and phishing scams that could jeopardize your devices, steal personal information such as logins and passwords, flood your device with ads, or even cause other issues like a slowdown in your internet connection.
The free URL CHECKER TOOL allows you to scan for malicious content in websites and links before clicking them, thus avoiding potentially harmful actions. This tool offers various features, such as detection of parked domains, reputation lookup, custom rules creation for specific conditions, integration with security platforms, and more. It also provides a detailed report on suspicious or phishing websites and URLs.
Checking Website Safety: URL Checker Tool
Another useful feature of the tool is its ability to track phishing activity across the globe, giving users real-time safety ratings and providing information about the number of reported phishing sites. Its open API access lets developers integrate this information into their systems and tools, improving website security.
The tool is an invaluable asset to web developers and administrators, allowing them to verify the integrity of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and detect errors or vulnerabilities. This ensures the smooth functioning of websites and web applications, enhances user experience, optimizes SEO efforts, and increases overall site reliability.
