CheckLink provides risk signals and review context, not a guarantee. Verify sensitive links through official channels before acting.
How to use it
1. Paste the URL into Redirect Checker or the scanner.
2. Review the hop timeline and final destination.
3. Check whether the final domain is expected.
4. Use manual review if the redirect path is confusing or sensitive.
