Redirect Checker

Follow the full redirect chain of any URL. See every hop with its HTTP status code and whether each redirect is permanent or temporary.

The Problem

Redirect chains can silently harm your SEO performance.

Each additional hop in a redirect chain introduces latency, has the potential to dilute PageRank, and increases the risk of Googlebot abandoning the crawl before reaching your content. Redirect loops make pages completely unreachable. These issues are not visible when browsing the site normally.

✕Redirect chains can dilute your ranking signals over time

✕Using a 302 instead of a 301 may cause loss of link equity

✕A redirect loop makes pages completely unreachable to crawlers

The Plan

Analyze your complete redirect chain in seconds

1. Enter your URL

   Paste any publicly accessible URL into the input field above and click the Check button to begin the analysis.

2. We trace every redirect

   Our server fetches the URL and manually follows each redirect response, capturing the status code and destination at every step.

3. Review the full chain

   Each hop is displayed with its URL, HTTP status code, and redirect type. Redirect loops are automatically detected and reported.

Get a complete view of your redirect chain in a single check. Identify unnecessary hops, verify redirect types are correctly configured, and confirm that your URLs resolve to the intended final destination.
