How to Use the URL Redirect Checker

To trace a link's path, enter the full URL into the search field and click "Submit." Our tool will follow the request through every step of its journey—supporting up to 10 consecutive redirects—and report the exact HTTP status code for each hop until it reaches the final destination.

Functionality and SEO Performance

The URL Redirect Checker functionality is an indispensable tool for maintaining "Link Juice" and ensuring a seamless user experience. By deconstructing the redirect path, you can identify:

• 301 vs. 302 Identification: Verify if your redirects are Permanent (301), which passes ranking power to the new page, or Temporary (302), which generally does not.
• Redirect Chain Detection: Identify instances where one redirect leads to another, and another. Multiple hops slow down your site and can cause Google to stop crawling the link altogether.
• Breaking Redirect Loops: Detect "infinite loops" where a URL redirects back to itself, causing browsers to display an error and killing your conversion rate.
• Affiliate & Shortlink Unmasking: See exactly where a shortened or affiliate link is taking your users before they click, ensuring the destination is safe and legitimate.
• HTTP to HTTPS Migration: Confirm that your legacy non-secure links are correctly pointing to their secure counterparts to maintain your site's security integrity.
