Categorized trust score
We combine multiple verified signals into one easy-to-understand score so you can decide with confidence.
Deep DNS + WHOIS
Analyze DNS records, TTL, MX, NS configuration and WHOIS registration to uncover hidden ownership.
Security headers audit
Checks HTTP/2, HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options and SSL integrity to validate server security posture.
Email spoofing risk
Detects email risks like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC misconfigurations that attackers use for phishing.
Transparency signals
We verify privacy policies, contact info, company details and disclosures to measure brand transparency.
Technology fingerprint
We detect CMS, frameworks, plugins, payment gateways and hosting patterns linked to risky behavior.
Expired & archived pages
Finds expired domains, SEO traps, and archived content that scammers frequently reuse.
Third-party intel
Cross-checks with blocklists, reputation databases and real-time threat intelligence for maximum accuracy.
Small habits that block most scams.
Never trust a link in an email
Hover to preview the real destination URL and type domain addresses manually when in doubt.
Use a password manager
Strong, unique passwords and passkeys protect you from credential stuffing and account takeovers.
Check domain registration age
Fresh domains under 90 days are high risk. Older, stable domains are significantly safer.
Verify via a second channel
If you receive an unexpected urgent message, confirm via the official app or verified contact.

How to check a phishing link safely (without clicking it)

Why DNS-over-HTTPS matters (and how Scam Lookup uses it)
Traditional DNS is plaintext and trivially tampered with. DNS-over-HTTPS encrypts the lookup — and lets any web app resolve records without a server-side helper.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a website is legit or safe?
To check a website, paste the URL into our free website legit checker. We immediately inspect domain registration age, active SSL encryption, DNS-over-HTTPS records, server security headers, and live threat blocklists to compute an explainable trust score (0–100).
Can I perform a link check or URL check before clicking?
Yes. You can run an instant link check on any raw URL or shortlink. Our safety website checker inspects the destination domain without executing client-side scripts, protecting you against phishing traps and malware downloads.
How is ScamLookup different from Scamadviser and traditional tools?
Unlike tools like Scamadviser that rely on subjective crowd reviews or black-box algorithms, ScamLookup uses 100% deterministic, mathematically verifiable scoring. Every signal is backed by public data sources and exportable in full raw JSON.
What signals prove whether an internet site is safe?
A safe website generally features an established domain age (>6 months), valid SSL/TLS with Certificate Transparency history, strong DMARC/SPF email protection, published merchant transparency policies, and zero hits on malware blocklists.
Is this website safety checker completely free?
Yes, 100% free with no registration or credit card needed. All checks run on global edge infrastructure for sub-3-second results.
Can I share a legit check report with friends or colleagues?
Yes. Every scan creates a permanent, clean report URL (e.g. /website/example) that you can easily share, bookmark, or export as a PDF or JSON audit log.
