What is LinkLens?
LinkLens analyzes the quality of a link directly in your browser. Its goal is to reduce the chance of phishing attacks in an organisation, where many breaches begin with a single, deceptive link. The tool also explains why a link is considered risky so you can learn to spot similar patterns yourself.
How to use LinkLens
1. Open the tool from the home page or via the button above.
2. Paste a link into the input field.
3. Click the Analyze button.
The tool will analyze the link and provide a score out of 100, along with a list of any possible issues with the link if necessary.
How to interpret the score
80–100 · Lower risk – The link appears relatively trustworthy, but you should still check context and sender carefully.
50–79 · Be cautious – Some signals suggest you should be extra careful before clicking or entering credentials.
0–49 · High risk – Multiple red flags. Avoid clicking the link and follow your organisation's security process.
