SafeSurf (PHP Library)
======================

[](#safesurf-php-library)

Disclaimer
----------

[](#disclaimer)

This project is a PHP-native rewrite of the repository [abhizaik/urlvet](https://github.com/abhizaik/urlvet).

SafeSurf for PHP focuses on transparent analysis results (reasons), scores, and verdicts.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Real-time URL analysis: redirect chain, HTTP status, HSTS
- Domain & DNS signals: rank (top-1m), IP resolution, NS/MX validity, domain age, domain expiry
- URL signals: keywords, URL shortener, excessive length/depth, subdomain count, punycode
- TLS/SSL signals: TLS presence, issuer, certificate age, chain validation (best effort)
- Page content (best effort): title, login/payment/personal form detection, hidden iframe, brand mismatch
- Threat feed: PhishTank (optional, depending on API availability)
- Optional caching via phpfastcache to speed up network lookups and data parsing
