About the Redirect Checker

Traces the full redirect chain of a URL, hop by hop, until it reaches the final page. Long chains and redirect loops slow users down and dilute link equity.

Frequently asked questions

How many redirects are too many?

Keep it to one hop where possible. Each extra redirect adds latency and can leak a little ranking signal.

301 vs 302 for SEO?

Use 301 (permanent) when a URL has moved for good; 302 (temporary) tells Google to keep indexing the original.
