Links

View information related to links.

The Links section allows you to monitor all the links on your site and validate that they are correct and pointing to trustworthy 3rd parties.

Use Cases

  • Determine whether your site hosts safe links to trusted external sites.

Detection

Link tags that were discovered on your site are analyzed and detailed information is extracted such as the host they link to, file type, and response code when the link is requested.

Risk

Risk is assigned by verifying that links are using HTTPS and the destination sites are not flagged for malware, phishing, or adult content.

  • High ( Red):

    • Unknown email address (mailto) links.

    • Phishing or malware detected.

    • Links blocked by SRI.

  • Medium ( Yellow):

    • The link is not using HTTPS.

    • Phone number links.

    • Email address (mailto) links that are out-of-scope.

  • Low ( Green): No significant risks are associated with the link.

Links rated High or Medium risk will create issues.

We recommend fixing High and Medium risk issues immediately.
