Safe URL Redirects Safe redirects by design
Lynko protects users with proactive link safety checks. Destinations are scanned when links are created or updated, and re-checked when needed to reduce malware and phishing risks.
Protect users with proactive link safety checks.
Why unsafe redirects are a real problem
Most URL shorteners redirect users blindly. Once a link is created, the destination is trusted indefinitely. This makes short links an attractive vector for phishing, malware, and other harmful content.
Verify links before you click
Lynko allows anyone to verify a short link before opening it. You can preview the destination and check its safety status, helping reduce the risk of accidental exposure to harmful or misleading sites.
Proactive link safety checks
Lynko checks destinations proactively at link creation and whenever a link is modified. Links are automatically re-checked if the last safety scan is older than 24 hours.
Quarantine instead of silent redirects
When a destination is flagged as suspicious, Lynko doesn’t silently redirect users. The link is quarantined and shown with a warning, preventing accidental clicks and protecting your audience.
Protect your users and your reputation
Safe redirects protect not only users, but also your brand and communication channels. Sharing verified links builds trust and reduces the risk of your content being flagged or blocked.
Protect users before the click
Create short links that don’t compromise safety.
