Redirect Checker
Follow a URL’s redirect chain and show each HTTP hop until the final destination.
About the Redirect Checker
Follow a public page address through its HTTP redirects to see the intermediate statuses and destination. Use it when changing URLs, moving domains or diagnosing why visitors reach a page other than the one you expected.
How it works and an example to tryShow less
How to use the result
The tool requests a URL with automatic redirects disabled and records each Location header and HTTP status for up to eight hops. It stops at the first non-redirect response or when no destination is supplied. It cannot infer JavaScript redirects or a browser's local cache, and it may stop before a longer chain ends.
Example to try
Check an old article address after a site migration. Look for a direct permanent redirect to the intended live URL rather than several avoidable hops or a final error. Test both the old and new address when updating internal links.
Questions
Who uses it, and when
Editors and SEO teams after a site migration or URL change, marketers checking tracking links, and developers diagnosing redirect loops.
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Chaining several redirects when one permanent redirect would do.
- Using temporary 302 redirects for moves that are permanent.
- Forgetting to update internal links so every click still passes through a redirect.
