About Lookyloo
Lookyloo captures a web page and lets you investigate everything it loaded, including redirects and third-party resources. You can capture a URL or upload a file such as an HTML document, and choose a proxy location. Tor and I2P captures are also supported on the public instance.
CIRCL runs a public instance where captures can be public, unlisted or private behind a seed. Administrators can see every capture, so for truly private work the project recommends running your own instance.
