Checks whether the website uses a secure encrypted connection (HTTPS). This helps protect your data from interception or tampering while communicating with the site.

Checks whether the web address follows standard internet formatting rules and does not contain obvious structural errors or suspicious formatting.

Validates that the URL syntax conforms to recognised web standards and does not contain malformed or potentially deceptive formatting.

Checks whether the web address uses characters from a single writing system. Mixing character sets can be used to create misleading or fake website addresses.

Analyses the URL for mixed Unicode scripts and visually confusable characters commonly used in phishing and impersonation attacks.

Checks whether the website address points to a valid internet server and that its DNS records can be resolved correctly.

Checks whether the website domain contains valid administrative registration information, helping identify anonymous or suspicious domains.

Examines available domain registration and administrative metadata associated with the DNS domain records.

Estimates how long the website domain has existed. Very new domains can sometimes indicate fraudulent or temporary websites.

Analyses DNS and registration-related data to estimate the domain creation or first-seen date.

Checks whether the domain registration includes a recognised WHOIS compliance or reporting link, helping confirm that the domain follows standard registration practices.

Examines WHOIS registration data for recognised compliance, reporting, or registrar validation links associated with the domain.

Checks when the website domain was first registered. Recently created domains may carry a higher risk of fraud or impersonation.

Retrieves and analyses the domain creation timestamp recorded in WHOIS registration data.

Calculates how long the website domain has existed since it was first registered. Older domains are often more established and trustworthy.

Determines the elapsed time since the domain creation date recorded in WHOIS data.

Checks whether the web address uses a URL shortening service. Shortened links can hide the true destination and are sometimes used in phishing attacks.

Identifies the use of URL shortening or redirection services that may obscure the final destination domain.

Checks whether the website address appears to imitate or closely resemble a trusted domain name in an attempt to mislead users.

Analyses the host name for typosquatting, homograph attacks, and deceptive similarity to known trusted domains.

Uses Google Web Risk technology to check the URL in the QR code against the latest list of malicious websites.

Google works to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information about unsafe web resources. However, Google cannot guarantee that its information is comprehensive and error-free: some risky sites may not be identified, and some safe sites may be identified in error.
