Free tools to check if a URL is safe, view Google's cached version of any page, and trace URL redirect chains. Essential for website security and SEO.
Before clicking a link — especially in an email, social media post, or comment — it pays to know where it actually leads and whether it's safe. We've put together three tools that help you do exactly that.
Safe URL Checker
The Safe URL Checker helps you evaluate whether a link is potentially malicious. Paste in a suspicious URL and the tool runs checks to flag known threats. Use it before clicking links in unsolicited messages or comments on your website.
Google Cache Checker
Ever visited a page only to find it's down or changed? The Google Cache Checker pulls up Google's last cached version of any page. This is incredibly useful for:
- Reading a page that's temporarily offline
- Seeing what Google sees (helpful for SEO audits)
- Comparing the current version against a previous snapshot
URL Redirect Checker
The URL Redirect Checker traces the full redirect chain for any URL. If you've set up 301 redirects and want to confirm they lead to the right final destination — or you're investigating where a shortened link actually takes you — this tool shows every hop along the way.
