Redirect Checker
Trace every hop of a URL's redirect chain - 301s, 302s and where you finally land.
When a URL redirects (like an old page forwarding to a new one), it can sometimes chain through multiple hops before reaching its final destination - each hop adds load time and can affect SEO if not configured correctly. This tool traces every redirect hop of a URL, showing the status code (301, 302, etc.) at each step.
Frequently asked questions
301 means "permanently moved" - search engines transfer ranking signals to the new URL. 302 means "temporarily moved" - search engines generally keep the original URL as the canonical one, expecting it to return eventually. Using the wrong type can affect how search engines treat the redirect for ranking purposes.
Each hop adds extra time before the page finally loads, hurting page speed - and very long redirect chains can sometimes cause search engines to stop following them, potentially failing to reach the final destination at all.
