Check where a short link goes
Paste any short or redirecting URL and see its full chain, final destination, and safety check before you click.
What this tool checks
It follows every server-side HTTP redirect (3xx responses with a Location header), records each hop's URL, status code, and scheme, flags hosts that match a known-shortener list, and runs a Google Safe Browsing lookup against the final destination. The hops and the final destination are shown as plain facts — no risk score, no warning labels.
What it can't catch
JavaScript-driven redirects, meta-refresh hops, links behind a login wall, and cloaked redirects that show different destinations to different visitors are all outside the scope of a server-side resolver. A clean result here is not a guarantee that the link is safe — it just means the visible HTTP chain looks normal.
Privacy
The URL you paste is never logged. Only the registered domain of the input is counted in aggregate (e.g. "bit.ly" once), purely to guide which preview formats we normalise next. No paths, no query strings, no IP correlation, no personal data.
