    What signals trust in a URL?

    Users decide whether to click a link in milliseconds based on its surface signals: protocol (HTTPS), domain familiarity, length, and the absence of suspicious patterns like raw IP addresses, punycode tricks, or excessive subdomains.

    A trustworthy short link looks intentional: a recognizable domain, a clean slug, and no random query-string noise.

    A trust score is one signal, not a verdict. The link trust scoring guide explains what the checks look at, the redirect checker reveals where a link actually lands, and why URLs leak sensitive information covers the other direction, what your own links give away. The transparency page publishes aggregate safety metrics, and an abusive link can be reported at the abuse report page.
