What is a Redirect Checker?

A Redirect Checker is a critical technical SEO tool that analyzes the paths a web page or URL takes in the background to reach its final destination. In the internet world, when a page's address changes, "HTTP Redirects" (301, 302, etc.) are used to send visitors and search engine bots to the new address. However, these redirects can sometimes spiral out of control, creating "Redirect Chains" or "Redirect Loops". Our tool exposes these errors to you in seconds with millisecond hop speeds.

What are HTTP Redirect Types?

• 301 Moved Permanently: Transfers 90-99% of the old page's SEO power (Link Juice) and authority to the new page. It is the method most loved and recommended by Google for site migrations or URL changes.
• 302 Found / Moved Temporarily: Indicates that the page has moved elsewhere only "for now", and that Googlebot should keep the old URL in its index. It does not transfer SEO power. (Ideal for out-of-stock campaign pages on e-commerce sites).
• 307 and 308 Redirects: These are stricter HTTP 1.1 temporary/permanent redirect types generally used in server-side HSTS (Strict HTTPS) or modern web API redirects.

How Do Redirect Chains Kill SEO?

If a link goes to A, A goes to B, and B goes to C, this is called a "Chain". Googlebot has a limited Crawl Budget for each site. The bot will follow a chain of at most 5 hops, after which it gives up and leaves that URL uncrawled (not found). Moreover, each redirect step erodes SEO authority by an average of 10%. By detecting these chains with the Redirect Checker and directing link A directly to C, you can save your site architecture and page load speeds.

How to Use It?

Enter the full URL of the page you want to test or a shortened link (e.g., bit.ly address) into the box. The tool will list all the "Hop" stops from the moment the link is first clicked until the final moment the page renders returning a 200 OK (Successful) code, along with their HTTP status codes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question: On my site, there are 2 redirects from HTTP to HTTPS, then from non-WWW to WWW, is this normal?
Answer: It is not normal. This is called a "Double Redirect" and unnecessarily slows down your page speed by 150-300 ms. You should write a rule from your server file (e.g., .htaccess) straight to the final HTTPS+WWW redirect in a single step.

Question: What does the "Too many redirects" error mean?
Answer: When Page 1 redirects to Page 2; and Page 2 redirects back to Page 1, an endless "Redirect Loop" occurs. The browser crashes. By using the tool, you can see exactly at which step the loop explodes.
