What is Redirect Checker?

The Redirect Checker traces the full HTTP redirect chain for any URL. It shows every hop in the redirect path — including 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary), 307, and 308 redirects — along with the status code, redirect type, and final destination URL.

Use cases

  • SEO auditing — excessive redirects or redirect chains harm page speed and search rankings
  • Link shortener analysis — see where shortened URLs (bit.ly, t.co, etc.) actually redirect to
  • URL migration verification — confirm that old URLs properly redirect to new locations
  • Security analysis — check if a suspicious link redirects to a malicious site
  • Email link tracking — trace marketing email links through tracking redirects

Key features

Full redirect chain visualization with hop-by-hop display
HTTP status codes for each redirect (301, 302, 307, 308, etc.)
Clear final destination URL identification
Redirect type classification (permanent, temporary, etc.)
Multi-URL support for batch redirect checking

Frequently asked questions

A 301 redirect is permanent — search engines transfer the original page's SEO value to the new URL. A 302 is temporary — search engines keep indexing the original URL.
