Redirect Checker

The Redirect Checker traces every hop a URL takes for free, showing each 301, 302 or other redirect in the chain until it reaches the final destination.

Why check redirects?

Redirects send visitors and search engines from one URL to another. Long chains, wrong status codes or loops waste crawl budget, slow pages and leak SEO value. Checking the path helps you confirm that redirects use the right status code and resolve cleanly.

How to use the Redirect Checker

1. Enter the URL you want to test.
2. Click Check.
3. Review each redirect hop and the final status code.
