ℹ️ This tool simulates redirect chains using browser fetch. Due to CORS, some sites may not show all hops — but the final destination URL is always detected.

About This Redirect Checker

HTTP redirects tell browsers to go from one URL to another. Our redirect checker traces the complete redirect chain from the original URL to the final destination, showing every hop along the way with its HTTP status code.

301 Permanent Redirect — used for permanently moved pages (passes SEO link equity). 302 Temporary Redirect — used for temporary moves (does not pass full link equity). For SEO, always use 301 for permanent redirects. Redirect chains with more than 3 hops can slow page load time and dilute link equity — this tool helps you identify and fix them.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that tells browsers and search engines a page has permanently moved to a new URL. It passes approximately 90-99% of link equity (SEO value) from the old URL to the new one.

A redirect chain occurs when URL A redirects to URL B which redirects to URL C. Each hop adds latency and can dilute SEO value. Best practice is to redirect directly to the final destination URL with no intermediate steps.

A redirect loop occurs when URL A redirects to URL B which redirects back to URL A — creating an infinite loop. Browsers stop after a few iterations and show an "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" error. This tool detects loops by limiting to 10 hops.
