About the Redirect Checker

Follow a URL through every redirect to its final destination, with the status code at each step, so you can spot long chains and loops that waste crawl budget and lose link value.

• Every hop with its status code and target
• Detects loops and unnecessarily long chains
• Flags temporary redirects used where permanent ones belong

Frequently asked questions

Do redirect chains hurt SEO?

Yes. Each extra hop slows the page and search engines limit how many they follow. Point the first URL straight at the final destination.

301 or 302 — which should I use?

Use 301 for permanent moves so ranking signals transfer. Use 302 only when the original URL will genuinely return.
