Is metacrawler.com safe?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on metacrawler.com, so it appears legitimate. All 60 antivirus engines that rated it report it clean, and the domain is 29 years old, registered on February 26, 1997 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.

metacrawler.com has a Safety Score of 93/100 (Safe). The saved checks and analysis found no material threat at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.

Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from metacrawler.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from metacrawler.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.

No — all 60 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it report metacrawler.com as clean. 33 other engines had no rating for it. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.

No — metacrawler.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.

metacrawler.com is 29 years old, registered on February 26, 1997 through eNom, LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.

Yes — metacrawler.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 43 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".

metacrawler.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

This report is a record of the scan run on October 16, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about metacrawler.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
