Redirect Checker
Analyze the full redirect path of any URL to detect loops, chains, and status codes.
Why check redirects?
- Prevent redirect loops that crash browsers
- Ensure link equity is passed (301 vs 302)
- Reduce latency by minimizing hop count
- Verify HTTPS migration is working correctly
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
A 301 redirect is permanent and passes SEO value (link juice) to the new URL. A 302 redirect is temporary and tells search engines to keep indexing the original URL.
How many redirects are too many?
Google recommends keeping redirect chains under 3-5 hops. More than that can delay crawling and negatively impact site speed and user experience.
What is a redirect loop?
A redirect loop occurs when URL A redirects to URL B, and URL B redirects back to URL A (or via other steps), creating an infinite cycle that browsers cannot resolve.
Why is my redirect status '0' or 'Error'?
This usually happens if the server is unreachable, the domain doesn't exist, or there is a client-side network issue preventing the request.
Does this tool support HTTPS?
Yes, our tool fully supports SSL/HTTPS and will follow redirects between HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
