HTTP Redirect Checker

Follow a URL's redirect path and inspect the HTTP responses encountered before reaching the final destination. This is useful when troubleshooting moved pages, HTTPS migrations, canonical URL versions or unexpected redirect behavior.

How to check a redirect

  1. Enter the complete starting URL.
  2. Run the redirect check.
  3. Review each URL and HTTP status in the chain.
  4. Confirm that the final destination is the page you intended visitors and crawlers to reach.

Common redirect status codes

Redirect responses commonly include codes such as 301, 302, 307 or 308. Their semantics differ, including whether a move is intended to be permanent or temporary and how request methods are handled.

Why inspect redirect chains?

Multiple unnecessary hops can complicate site maintenance and delay reaching the final resource. Redirect loops are more serious because the browser or crawler cannot reach a stable destination. A clean redirect setup generally sends an old URL toward the correct current URL without avoidable steps.

FAQ

What is a redirect chain?

It occurs when one URL redirects to another URL that then redirects again before the final page is reached.

What is a redirect loop?

It is a sequence of redirects that eventually points back into the same cycle and prevents a final page from loading normally.
