About Us
Our Mission
The internet should be safe for everyone. Yet every year, millions of people fall victim to online scams — fake investment platforms, phishing websites, fraudulent online stores, and crypto schemes that steal personal data and money.
Alertoscan was built to change that. We provide free, instant website security scanning that anyone can use — no technical knowledge required, no account needed. Just enter a URL and get a clear, actionable security verdict in seconds.
What We Analyze
Every scan runs a multi-layered security analysis that cross-references multiple authoritative data sources:
- Antivirus Engines — We scan every URL against multiple antivirus engines simultaneously to detect malware, phishing attempts, and malicious code
- Blacklist Detection — We check Cloudflare Phishing Protection and Google Safe Browsing for known dangerous sites
- Financial Regulator Warnings — We cross-reference international financial regulators worldwide for official fraud warnings and enforcement actions
- SSL/TLS Certificate Validation — We verify HTTPS encryption, certificate authenticity, issuer, and expiration
- WHOIS & Domain Intelligence — We analyze domain age, registration patterns, ownership data, and privacy status
- Server & Hosting Analysis — We identify server IP, software, hosting location, and ASN provider
- HTTP Transactions — We capture every network request, status codes, resource types, and sizes to detect suspicious activity
- Cookie Security Audit — We analyze cookie flags (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite) and identify tracking cookies
- Page Performance & Timing — We measure DNS, TLS handshake, TTFB, and full page load to detect anomalies
- Redirect Chain Analysis — We trace every redirect to reveal hidden destinations and suspicious routing
- Resource Breakdown — We catalog all scripts, stylesheets, images, and fonts loaded by the site
- Technology Detection — We fingerprint CMS, frameworks, analytics, CDNs, and hosting providers
- Scam Farm Detection — We identify networks of related scam sites sharing code signatures
- Community Reports — Real user reviews and ratings add a human layer to automated analysis
- AI-Powered Analysis — Automated expert summaries explain each website's security profile in plain language
Our Tools
Beyond the main scanner, we offer a suite of free security tools:
- Scam URL Checker — Our flagship tool. Comprehensive website security scanning with Trust Score
- BreachRadar — Check if your email has been exposed in known data breaches
- Password Generator — Generate secure passwords, passphrases, and PINs — 100% client-side, nothing leaves your browser
- TechStack Checker — Detect technologies, frameworks, and CMS used by any website
The Trust Score
Every scanned website receives a Trust Score from 0 to 100, calculated through our proprietary badge system. The score evaluates 14 penalty chains and 2 bonus chains, each with escalating severity tiers.
A site flagged by regulators, blacklisted, and running on a new domain will accumulate penalties across multiple chains. Conversely, a well-established site with positive community reviews earns bonus badges.
The result is a single, easy-to-understand number that tells you whether a website is safe to use. Learn how the Trust Score works.
