Redirection Checker
Redirection Checker allows you to analyze how a URL redirects, including HTTP response codes, final destination, and the full redirection chain. Perfect for diagnosing SEO or affiliate link issues.

Try:
The Redirection Checker follows a URL through its HTTP redirects and shows each hop: the URL, the HTTP status code and how long it took. You see the full chain and the final destination.
It helps you find redirect chains that slow pages down, confirm that a 301 is really a 301, and debug affiliate or tracking links.

When a server wants to send you elsewhere it returns a 3xx status code and a Location header, and the client requests the new address. 301 and 308 mean permanent, 302 and 307 mean temporary. The newer 307 and 308 codes forbid changing the request method, whereas older clients may turn a POST into a GET after a 301 or 302. Search engines treat permanent redirects as a signal to move ranking to the new URL.
Every extra hop costs a full round trip, including DNS, connection and TLS setup for a new host, so chains such as http to https to www to a final path add visible delay on mobile networks. Best practice is to redirect straight to the final address in one step. Redirect loops, where A leads to B and B leads back to A, never finish, so clients stop after a limit; this tool stops after 10 hops.
HTTP redirects returned by the server, using the Location header. Redirects done in JavaScript or meta refresh tags are not followed.
301 means permanently moved and 302 means temporarily moved. Search engines treat them differently, which is why the status code matters for SEO.
The target may be slow, block automated requests, or be unreachable. Each request has a short timeout.
No. The check is made by our server, which then returns the chain to you.
The tool follows the chain until it reaches a URL that does not redirect or a request fails.
The same URLs repeat in the chain until the hop limit is reached and the tool stops with a message. Fix the rule on the server that sends the page back to an earlier URL.
The URL is sent to our server only to perform the check, and our server does not store it. Even so, avoid pasting links containing private tokens or session identifiers.
