How do I check if a website is safe to use?

Enter the site address into the CyberAware UK Website Safety Check. It passively scans the site's security setup — HTTPS, headers, redirects and common weak spots — and flags anything risky before you trust it with your details.

Is the Website Safety Check really passive?

Yes — we never try to break into a site. It checks publicly visible security signals only and cannot guarantee a site is unhackable.

What does a poor website security score mean?

It means the site is missing basic protections like HTTPS or secure headers. Avoid entering payment or personal details, and if you already have, contact your bank and consider reporting to Action Fraud.

Website Safety Checker

Enter any website URL and we'll check it for the most common ways sites get hacked — then tell you exactly how to fix each issue. Free, fast, no signup required.

📚 What We Check & Why

HTTPS & SSL certificate — is the site encrypted, and is the certificate valid and unexpired?
Security headers — HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, clickjacking protection and more (the "locks" on the doors)
Information leaks — does the site reveal its software versions to attackers?
Cookie security — can session cookies be stolen?
Exposed files — are backups, .env files or source repositories publicly downloadable?

Important: This is a passive check — we never try to break into a site. It finds the most common weaknesses but cannot guarantee a site is unhackable. A clean result doesn't mean "safe forever" — security is an ongoing job, not a one-time tick.
