VoirCheck

How VoirCheck checks a store

Every store is opened in an isolated cloud browser and checked six ways. Each check adds points; the total sets the verdict.

  1. 1

    Domain age

    When the domain was registered. Brand-new domains are common for fake shops.

    Worth a look: 10 · Red flag: 25

  2. 2

    HTTPS and redirects

    Whether the connection is properly encrypted and whether the page sends you to another site.

    Worth a look: 15 · Red flag: 30

  3. 3

    Price vs other stores

    How the price compares with at least two other stores selling the exact same product.

  4. 4

    Page analysis

    An AI read of the page: contact details, reviews, urgency tricks, policies. Coming soon.

    Worth a look: 15 · Red flag: 35

  5. 5

    Threat lists

    Whether Google Safe Browsing lists the address as dangerous.

    Worth a look: 0 · Red flag: 100

  6. 6

    Copycat check

    Whether the store copies another store’s name, address or pages.

    Worth a look: 20 · Red flag: 40

0–29 points: Safe. 30–64: Hold, you decide. 65 and up: Block.

Some findings set the verdict on their own: a threat-list hit always blocks; no valid HTTPS, or a brand-new domain with a price far below other stores, always holds. If a store can’t be checked, it’s never marked safe.
