How It Works

How It Works

Learn how RedPhish scans every page, removes threats, and keeps you safe before you even see them.

Last updated: February 2026

Protection That Works Before You See the Threat

Most security tools wait for you to click something bad, then warn you. RedPhish takes a different approach: it scans the entire content of every page you visit and removes malicious elements before the page finishes loading.

You cannot click a bad link if it is no longer there. You cannot fall for a scam if it has already been removed.

Full Page Content Scanning

When you visit any website, RedPhish immediately scans the entire page content, not just the URL in your address bar. This includes:

  • Every link on the page
  • Embedded content and iframes
  • Scripts and page behavior
  • Text patterns associated with scams and attacks

This deep content analysis catches threats that URL-only scanners miss entirely.

Automatic Threat Removal

When RedPhish detects malicious content, it does not just warn you. It removes the threat from the page before you can interact with it:

  • Malicious links: Disabled and marked so you cannot accidentally click them
  • Scam content: Blocked entirely so you never see the deceptive message
  • Dangerous pages: Replaced with a safety warning before any content loads

This proactive removal means threats are neutralized the moment they are detected, not after you have already been exposed.

Real Time Threat Intelligence

RedPhish checks content against continuously updated threat intelligence. Every scan uses the latest information about known phishing sites, malware distributors, and scam campaigns. New threats are added constantly, so protection stays current.

Attack Pattern Detection

Beyond checking known bad URLs, RedPhish analyzes page behavior to detect attacks that have never been seen before. This includes social engineering attacks that try to trick you into running malicious commands, and deceptive pages designed to steal your information.

When these attacks are detected, RedPhish blocks the entire page before you can be deceived.

Speed Without Compromise

All of this happens in milliseconds. RedPhish is optimized for performance:

  • Scanning happens in the background as pages load
  • Results are cached locally so repeat visits are instant
  • Protection is active on every page without slowing down your browsing

Enterprise Visibility

For organizations, RedPhish provides aggregate metrics about blocked threats. See how many attacks were stopped across your team, without logging individual browsing activity. Your users stay protected, and you get the visibility you need.

The Bottom Line

Traditional security tools react to threats. RedPhish eliminates them. By scanning full page content and removing malicious elements before you can interact with them, RedPhish provides protection that actually prevents harm instead of just warning about it.
