Common questions answered

VeriClick is a Chrome extension that checks links in real time and shows you an instant trust score when you hover over any link. It flags phishing, scams, and fake sites before you ever click — in under 1 second.

VeriClick is operated by VeriClick Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16554016), with a team based in New Zealand and the UK. We built VeriClick because phishing scams cost everyday people billions every year — and existing tools are either built for security experts or simply don't exist for normal users. Our mission: the simplest, clearest scam protection for everyone.

Chrome is fully supported today. Extensions for Firefox, Edge, and Safari are on our roadmap. If you'd like to be notified when they launch, contact us and we'll add you to the list.

Yes — VeriClick checks links across your entire browser including Google search results, Gmail, social media, news sites, and shopping platforms.

VeriClick evaluates dozens of signals including domain age, registration details, redirect chains, known phishing databases, URL structure patterns, and contextual clues from the page you're on. It combines these into a single 0–100 trust score with a plain-English explanation.

Scores run from 0 to 100. 90–100 is Safe, 75–89 is Likely Safe, 55–74 is Caution, and below 55 is Risky. Each score comes with a short explanation so you understand exactly why a link was flagged.

VeriClick analyses signals that sometimes appear on legitimate sites — especially newer domains or sites with unusual registration patterns. You can always choose to proceed through any warning. If you believe a site is incorrectly flagged, please let us know via the feedback button in the extension.

Yes. VeriClick is advisory — it warns you first, but you always have the final say. Click 'Visit anyway' on any warning to proceed.

It lets you set how cautious VeriClick should be before triggering a warning or block. Move it lower to block more aggressively; move it higher to only warn on very high-risk links.

No tool can catch every threat. VeriClick is designed to dramatically reduce your risk and catch the vast majority of scam and phishing links — but it's one layer of protection, not a guarantee.
