// REDIRECT CHECKER · ABOUT THIS TOOL
About the Redirect Checker
The Redirect Checker makes redirects visible by following any URL manually, recording every hop with its status code, and stopping at the final destination. It detects meta refresh redirects as well. SEOs use it to audit 301 migrations and hunt down redirect chains, while developers verify short links and canonical redirect logic. For the full header picture, pair it with the HTTP Status Checker.
Where it helps most
When redirects need auditing.
SEO migrations
SEOs audit redirect chains during site migrations and link cleanups, since every unnecessary hop costs crawl budget and ranking signal.
Marketing links
Marketers verify short links, QR codes and ad landing URLs resolve to the right destination without detours.
Post-deploy confirmation
Developers confirm canonical redirects, like http to https and trailing slash rules, behave as configured after a deploy.
Loop hunting
A loop where A points to B and B points back to A is the classic invisible breakage; the chain view exposes it.
What you see
Every hop, explained.
Status per step
The status code at each step: 301 permanent, 302 temporary, 307, 308, each explained in context.
Location headers
The Location header each response points to, traced from the first URL to the final landing page.
