Quick answer

A safe browsing check tells you if a website is known for malware or phishing before you visit or trust it. Secably checks the domain against the URLhaus and OpenPhish threat feeds and the Spamhaus DBL and SURBL DNS blocklists, then reviews the domain age and TLS certificate. You get a clear verdict and the exact sources behind it — free, no signup, no API keys.

  • Malware & phishing feeds — URLhaus, OpenPhish
  • DNS blocklists — Spamhaus DBL, SURBL
  • Domain age + TLS + lookalike-domain checks
  • No API keys, no signup, results in seconds

How to check if a website is safe

Before you enter a password, download a file, or trust a link, it helps to know whether a site has a history of malware or phishing. The problem is that a website looking legitimate tells you almost nothing — attackers clone real login pages exactly.

A reputation check answers the practical question: has this domain already been reported as dangerous? Secably looks it up across independent, continuously-updated threat sources and shows you which — if any — flagged it, so you are not relying on a single opaque "safe/unsafe" badge.

Why "it has HTTPS" doesn't mean safe

A padlock only means the connection is encrypted — most phishing sites now use HTTPS with a free certificate. Encryption says nothing about who runs the site or what it does. That is why this tool checks reputation and threat listings, not just whether the certificate exists.

What the checker looks at

Every source is keyless and public. Nothing is invented — a domain is either listed or it isn't, and the report says which sources ran.

— Threat feeds

Malware & phishing lists

Matches the domain against URLhaus (abuse.ch malware URLs) and the OpenPhish community phishing feed, refreshed regularly on our server.

— DNSBL

DNS blocklists

Queries Spamhaus DBL and SURBL live over DNS. Their answer codes separate spam, phishing, malware and botnet C&C domains.

— Risk signals

Age, TLS & lookalikes

Adds domain age (via RDAP), live TLS certificate validity, and detection of mixed-script lookalike (homograph) domains and abused TLDs.

Honest limitation: a "clean" result means the domain wasn't on any source we checked at scan time. Brand-new malicious sites are often not listed yet, so this is a reputation check, not a guarantee of safety. When a site is freshly registered or has other risk signals, we mark it suspicious even if no feed has caught it.

Who uses a safe browsing check

you
Vet a link before you click
Anyone: paste the domain from a suspicious email or message and see if it's already reported as phishing or malware.
ops
Monitor your own domain's reputation
Ops & owners: confirm your site isn't wrongly listed on a blocklist — a listing quietly breaks email delivery and search ranking.
sec
Triage during an investigation
Security & SOC: quickly classify a domain seen in logs or an alert against multiple threat sources at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if a website is safe? +
Enter the domain above. Secably checks it against known-malware and phishing feeds (URLhaus, OpenPhish) and DNS blocklists (Spamhaus DBL, SURBL), then reviews domain age and the TLS certificate, and returns a clear verdict — clean, suspicious, or malicious — with the sources that flagged it.
Does it need an API key? +
No. Every source is keyless and public — the URLhaus and OpenPhish community feeds, the Spamhaus DBL and SURBL DNS blocklists, and keyless RDAP for domain age. There's nothing to sign up for.
What does a "clean" result mean? +
It means the domain wasn't found on any threat source we checked at the time of the scan. It's a point-in-time reputation check, not a guarantee — a very new malicious site may not be listed yet — so treat it as one strong signal among others.
Can it catch brand-new phishing sites? +
Sometimes. Fresh phishing domains are often unlisted for hours or days. Secably flags extra risk signals — a domain registered in the last 30 days, an invalid TLS certificate, or a mixed-script lookalike domain — so a site can read as suspicious before any feed catches it.
My own site is flagged — what now? +
A listing usually means the domain was compromised or abused. Clean up the malicious content, then request delisting from the source that flagged it (each blocklist has its own removal process). Monitoring your domain continuously catches this early.
