Overview

SafeRedirects — Unshorten URLs and check redirect chains instantly, right from your browser.

Tired of clicking shortened links and wondering where they'll take you? SafeRedirects brings your URL analysis tool directly to your browser. Right-click any link to instantly analyze redirect chains, threat intelligence, SSL certificates, domain reputation, and security scores — all before you click.

What It Does:
- Unshorten URLs — Follow the complete redirect chain from the initial link to the final destination
- Threat Intelligence Checks — Cross-reference against threat databases to identify known malicious domains and phishing attempts
- Analyze in Real-Time — Get detailed analysis results in under 2 seconds, displayed in a sleek tooltip
- Security Scoring — Every URL receives an A-F grade (A = Safe, F = Malware) with a 0-100 risk score
- Comprehensive Data — Check SSL/TLS certificates, domain age, DNS verification, IP geolocation, threat flags, and more
- Domain Intelligence — Review final URL, domain reputation, WHOIS information, and fetched metadata (title, description, keywords, favicon)
- Smart Caching — Results are cached for 24 hours to minimize redundant checks and API calls
