Domain Safety Check: verify if a website is safe from malware, phishing and blacklists.

Enter any domain name into the Domain Safety Check box above and click Check. The tool runs an instant domain reputation and security check across two critical dimensions:

• Home Page Malware & Phishing Scan: Checks the domain's home page against updated threat intelligence blacklists to show No Threats Detected, or alerts you if the website is flagged for malware, phishing, social engineering, or unwanted software.
• Search Engine Index Check: Shows whether the website is currently Indexed in search results and displays the exact count of indexed pages (for example, 104 pages indexed).
• One-Click Deep Dives: Pivot directly from your safety report to DNS Lookup, WHOIS Lookup, and Backlinks Checker.

This scanner checks whether a domain's root home page appears on active security blocklists used by major browsers to warn users away from dangerous sites:

• Malware & Unwanted Software: Detects domains flagged for distributing malicious payloads, drive-by downloads, trojans, or deceptive software.
• Phishing & Deceptive Sites: Identifies domains reported for credential harvesting, brand impersonation, or fake login pages.
• Home Page Scope (What It Does Not Catch): The tool scans the domain's home page (example.com) rather than crawling every internal URL one by one. A malicious file hidden in a deep directory (example.com/folder/file) or a separate subdomain may not trigger a root-page alert, and brand-new threats can take a few hours to appear on blocklists. Treat a clean scan as one signal alongside WHOIS and DNS checks.

Checking website safety and search index status together reveals both a domain's security reputation and its standing in search engines, especially when evaluating expired, deleted, or aftermarket domains:

• Safe + Actively Indexed: A clean malware scan paired with indexed pages points to a healthy, live website in good standing with both browsers and search engines.
• Safe + Zero Indexed Pages: Normal for an unused or newly registered domain. However, if an aged domain with hundreds of backlinks shows 0 indexed pages, it may have been de-indexed or penalized by search engines for past spam.
• Flagged for Threats + Indexed (or De-indexed): May indicate a compromised website or burned phishing domain that triggers browser security warnings. Avoid visiting or acquiring the domain unless you plan to clean the host and submit blacklist removal requests.

• If You Are Checking a Link or Buying a Domain: Do not visit the site directly in your browser, and think twice before bidding on a flagged expired or deleted domain, since clearing inherited malware or phishing penalties takes time.
• If You Own the Flagged Website: First, run a DNS Lookup and WHOIS Lookup to verify your A records, nameservers, and registrar status were not hijacked. Next, remove any malicious code or unauthorized pages from your server, check the Security Issues report in Google Search Console, and submit a review request to remove the browser warning.

You can combine Domain Safety Check with the rest of the DomainKits intelligence toolkit:

• Spot Look-Alike Phishing Domains: Use Typosquat Scanner or Hostname Search to uncover look-alike domains targeting your brand, then test suspicious matches here to see if they are already flagged on phishing lists or indexed by search engines.
• Check Registry Abuse Locks: Pair this scan with RDAP WHOIS Lookup to check if a suspicious domain has been suspended at the registry level with clientHold or serverHold status.
• Automated Monitoring & AI Agents: Track critical domains on Domain Monitor with a free account for DNS/status alerts, or use our MCP server and Agent Skills to run WHOIS, DNS and other domain checks inside your AI workflows.
