Free Redirect Checker

Our redirect checker traces the full HTTP redirect chain for any URL, hop by hop. Paste a URL and the tool follows each 301, 302, 307, or 308 redirect manually, recording the status code, response time, and Location header at every step. It is built for SEOs and developers who need to know where a URL actually lands and how much link equity is leaking along the way.

The workflow is fast. First, paste a single URL or up to 20 URLs in bulk mode. Next, pick a user agent if you want to see how Googlebot or a mobile browser would follow the chain. Then read the hop chain, sort by status, and export the full trace as CSV for your audit or outreach list.

For Technical SEOs

Our tool helps you find redirect chains eating link equity. Each extra 301 hop loses a small fraction of PageRank, so chains of 3+ hops add up fast. Use the tool to:

• Find old redirected URLs that should be updated to point directly to the final destination
• Catch redirect loops before they break crawl budget
• Verify migrations land cleanly with a single 301 to the new URL

For Link Builders

Our tool helps you reclaim backlinks pointing at redirected URLs. The backlink still passes equity, but inefficiently. Use the tool to:

• Spot backlinks pointing at intermediate hops rather than the live URL
• Confirm a target URL responds with 200 before pitching it for link insertion
• Detect cross-domain redirects that may leak referral signals

Why Use Our Redirect Checker

• Full hop-by-hop trace: Every hop in the chain is recorded with its status code, response time, and redirect type (permanent, temporary, or meta-refresh). You see exactly where the URL goes, not just the final destination.
• Smart link-equity warnings: The tool flags chains longer than 3 hops, mixed HTTP and HTTPS schemes, cross-domain redirects, and redirect loops. Each flag tells you what to fix, in plain language.
• Bulk mode + CSV export: Paste up to 20 URLs at once and trace them all in parallel. Download the full hop-by-hop result as CSV to drop into your audit spreadsheet or share with a developer.
