Email Link Checker: Scan Every Link Before You Send.

It pulls every hyperlink out of your message, buttons, tracked URLs, footer links, and shorteners, and scans each one before you send. This page checks every link against phishing and malware databases, expands shorteners and redirect chains to their real destination, flags punycode spoofing, and pings the URL to catch anything broken or dead. Each link comes back with a verdict: safe, suspicious, or dangerous, and the reason behind it.

Two other links decide a clean send. Test your sending domain with the email blacklist check, and confirm the recipient address reaches a real mailbox with the nine-check verification engine.

Yes. You get 4 scans per day on this page with no account and no card.

Sign up free and your account starts with 1,000 verification credits once you verify your email, or 2,500 if you register with a work address. Credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire, and larger packs carry volume discounts on the pricing page.

Yes, that is exactly what this tool does. Paste your email's HTML or plain text and every link inside is extracted and scanned, so you never have to list the URLs yourself. Run it before any send where a wrong link costs a click or trips a filter.

From there, work down the rest of the message: the html email checker covers template and markup problems, and the spam content checker flags the wording and link patterns that filters punish.

Spam filters resolve the domains behind every hyperlink in your message. One link pointing at a blocklisted shortener or a flagged tracking domain can push an otherwise clean email to spam. Broken links do quieter damage: recipients who click into a 404 stop clicking, and falling engagement drags your future placement down.

Audit your own domain with the blacklist check and watch overall inbox placement with the email deliverability tester.

Because filters resolve the domain behind every link before your email reaches the inbox. A single link pointing at a blocklisted shortener, a flagged tracker, or a freshly registered phishing host can send an otherwise clean message to spam. Rebuilding a burned sender reputation costs far more than scanning the links first.

The quiet cost is bigger too: a recipient who lands on a dead or cloaked link stops trusting your mail, and every future send inherits that drop in engagement. Scan the links, then audit your own domain with the blacklist check.

Every scanned link comes back as one of three verdicts. Safe means it resolves cleanly to a reputable host with no redirects of concern. Suspicious flags something worth a look: a shortener, a long redirect chain, a young domain, or a tracker filters tend to punish. Dangerous means a hard signal, a phishing or malware match, a spoofed host, or a cloaked destination.

Each verdict carries the reason and, where relevant, where the redirects actually lead, so you can pull or replace the link before the email ships.

The content you paste is used only to run the check and show you the verdict. We never sell it.

Yes, for the verification side. The REST API exposes the full nine-check email verdict for single addresses and bulk jobs, so you can gate signup forms, clean CRM imports, or verify before every campaign without opening a page. The link scan runs here on this page.

AI agents get a native MCP server: point Claude, Cursor, or a custom LLM app at the MCP URL and the verification tools are wired with no glue code. Forms on your own site can use the FoxGuard widget instead.

An email html tester renders your template the way real clients do and flags markup that breaks: unclosed tags, images that will not load, layouts that collapse on mobile. That is a different job. This page checks where your links go, not how your HTML looks.

Run both before a campaign: the email template checker for rendering, this tool for the links, and the DMARC, DKIM and SPF check for authentication. Live uptime for all tools sits at status.verifox.ai.
