Redirect Checker
Enter a URL and trace every redirect it goes through - see each hop, its status code and where the chain finally lands.
How it works
The URL is requested one hop at a time, without automatically following redirects, so every step in the chain can be shown with its own status code. 301 and 308 are permanent redirects that pass link equity; 302, 303 and 307 are temporary and generally shouldn't be used for permanent moves. Chains of more than one redirect slow pages down and waste crawl budget - point the first URL straight at the final destination wherever you can.
Basic guide
Enter a URL to trace its redirect chain. The tool checks each hop individually and shows the status code and destination.
Use it when investigating old URLs, migrations or redirect chains where a page appears to redirect more than once.
Example
Input:
https://example.com/old-page
The result could show:
301 /old-page ↓ 301 /products ↓ 200 /products/new
This reveals that the original URL goes through two redirects before reaching the final page.
