Is This Website Legit?

Enter the website URL in our free checker tool above. We analyze 13+ risk indicators including domain age, SSL certificate validity, DNS records, Trustpilot reviews, content patterns, and brand impersonation attempts. Within seconds, you'll see a risk assessment with a detailed breakdown of each signal.

Our tool helps you determine if a website is legit by checking multiple trust signals. We look at how long the domain has been registered, whether it has valid security certificates, its reputation on Trustpilot, and if it shows patterns commonly associated with scam sites. A low risk score suggests fewer red flags, but always verify independently before sharing sensitive information.

Common signs of scam websites include: very new domain registration (under 6 months), missing or invalid SSL certificates, no contact information or legal pages, urgency language pressuring quick decisions, requests for unusual payment methods, misspelled brand names in the URL, and poor reviews on Trustpilot. Our tool checks for all of these automatically.

Before buying from any online store, check it with our tool. We analyze the store's domain age, SSL security, Trustpilot reviews, and other trust signals. However, a low risk score doesn't guarantee safety. Always use secure payment methods, check for return policies, and search for independent reviews before making a purchase.

No. A high risk score means the website shows characteristics commonly associated with fraudulent sites, but it doesn't confirm it's a scam. Legitimate new businesses, personal websites, or sites with technical issues may trigger risk indicators. Use our analysis as one factor in your decision, and always research further before engaging with any unfamiliar website.

No. A low risk score indicates fewer concerning signals were detected, but it doesn't guarantee the website is legitimate or safe. Sophisticated scam operations may not trigger our detection methods. Always exercise caution when sharing personal information, login credentials, or payment details on any website.

If you've encountered a scam website, report it to: Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com), the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov), IC3 (ic3.gov) for internet crimes, and your local consumer protection agency. You can also report phishing sites to PhishTank. Warning others helps protect the community from fraud.

We analyze 13+ risk indicators: domain registration age, SSL certificate validity and expiration, DNS resolution status, WHOIS privacy settings, Trustpilot ratings and reviews, domain name quality (suspicious patterns, typos), potential brand impersonation, suspicious top-level domains, urgency language in content, payment/credential request patterns, page metadata, contact information presence, and legal pages availability.

Yes, your searches are private. We do not store personal data or log individual searches. Domain analysis results may be temporarily cached for up to 1 hour to improve performance, but no user-identifiable information is retained. We don't require registration or collect any personal information to use this tool.

IP addresses aren't supported because our domain-based checks (WHOIS lookup, SSL certificate validation, brand impersonation detection) require a domain name to function. Additionally, legitimate websites almost always use domain names rather than direct IP access. A website using only an IP address is itself a potential red flag.
