Our tool performs a quick check to assess the safety of any URL you provide. Here’s a simulated overview of what happens:

• URL Validation: First, we check if the link is a valid web address.
• Short Link Detection: We identify common URL shorteners (like bit.ly, tinyurl.com).
• Suspicious Keyword Scan: We look for keywords often found in phishing or malware links.
• (Future: Backend Scan): In a fully advanced version, our server would then consult real-time security databases (e.g., Google Safe Browsing, VirusTotal) and resolve short links to their final destination before presenting a comprehensive report.

Remember: Always exercise caution and common sense online. No tool can guarantee 100% protection.
