What this checks

We request the URL and record redirect responses until a final 200/404 or the hop cap. This is HTTP tracing only — not a full SEO audit.

Reasons

Why use this

Full chain

See each hop with status code and destination URL.

Safe probe

Private and local addresses are blocked like our SEO crawler.

Free

No account required for quick checks.

Steps

How it works

  1. Paste a URL

    Use http or https — we follow redirects up to a safe hop limit.

  2. Read the chain

    Each 301/302/307 is listed in order.

  3. Fix loops

    Collapse chains to a single 301 to the canonical URL.

Examples

Use cases

  • Confirm SSL and www redirects after migration
  • Find redirect loops before launch
  • Agency pre-flight for client domains
Quality

Best practices

  • Prefer one-hop 301s to the canonical HTTPS URL.
  • Avoid redirect chains through tracking parameters on the homepage.
