Redirect Checker

Inspect every hop in a URL's redirect chain.

What Is a Redirect Checker?

A Redirect Checker is a tool that analyzes URL redirects and shows every step in a redirect chain. It helps users inspect 301, 302, and other redirects to understand how a URL behaves before reaching the final destination.

Why Redirects Matter

Redirects are important for SEO, website migrations, affiliate marketing, and link tracking. Incorrect redirects can affect search rankings, user experience, and website performance.

Types of Redirects

301

Permanent Redirect

Tells browsers and search engines the resource has permanently moved. Passes most SEO value to the new URL.

302

Temporary Redirect

Indicates the move is temporary. Search engines keep the original URL indexed.

Meta

Meta Refresh Redirect

An HTML-based redirect triggered by a meta tag in the page <head>.

JS

JavaScript Redirect

Performed client-side via window.location. Often used when server-side redirects aren't possible.
