Google Malware Checker — Safe Browsing Status
Check a site's Google Safe Browsing status to see if Google has flagged it for malware or phishing. Flagged sites trigger warnings in major browsers.

Google Safe Browsing is the system behind those full-page 'Deceptive site ahead' and 'The site ahead contains malware' warnings in Chrome and other browsers. It maintains a view of sites known to host malware or run phishing, and browsers check against it constantly. This check reports whether Google currently considers a site dangerous.
If your own site gets flagged
A flag almost always means the site has been hacked and is serving malware or phishing, often without the owner realising. Because browsers show a full-screen warning before the page even loads, the overwhelming majority of visitors turn back — so a flag means a near-total loss of traffic until it's cleared.
The fix is to clean the infection, close the security hole that allowed it, then request a review through Google Search Console so the flag can be lifted. Note that Safe Browsing catches known threats: a brand-new malicious site or a very recent compromise may not be listed yet, so a clean status is reassuring but not an absolute guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from an antivirus scan?
- An antivirus scans files on your own device. Safe Browsing is Google's reputation list of dangerous websites. This check tells you Google's verdict on a site; it doesn't scan your computer.
- Does a clean status guarantee a site is safe?
- No. It catches known threats, but a very new malicious site or fresh compromise may not be listed yet. Keep practising normal caution regardless.
