What is URL Redirect Checker?
When you visit a URL, the server may respond with a redirect (301 Moved Permanently, 302 Found, etc.) pointing to a different URL. This can chain through multiple hops before reaching the final destination.
This tool follows the redirect chain using a CORS proxy and displays each hop with its HTTP status code in both a visual chain and a detailed table.

FAQ
- What is a 301 vs 302 redirect?
- 301 (Moved Permanently) tells search engines the URL has permanently changed. 302 (Found) indicates a temporary redirect. SEO implications differ significantly.
- Why check redirect chains?
- Long redirect chains slow page loads and can confuse search engines. Checking helps identify unnecessary redirects, redirect loops, and broken chains.
- Can this tool detect redirect loops?
- The tool will show repeated URLs in the chain, indicating a loop. However, most browsers and proxies limit redirect hops to prevent infinite loops.
