Redirect Checker
Trace URL redirects step by step. Check 301, 302, 307, and 308 redirects, final destination, loops, status codes, and response timing.
About Redirect Checker
Redirect Checker traces each HTTP redirect from the requested URL to the final destination. It shows whether a URL moves through 301, 302, 307, or 308 responses and how long each hop takes.
Use it to debug HTTP to HTTPS routing, www versus non-www redirects, tracking links, affiliate URLs, short links, SEO migrations, and redirect chains that may slow down crawling or page loading.
Public URL checks only
The checker blocks localhost, private IP ranges, and internal hostnames. It is designed for public HTTP and HTTPS URLs.
What Redirect Codes Mean
Permanent redirects
- 301 means the resource has moved permanently.
- 308 is a permanent redirect that preserves the request method.
- Permanent redirects are commonly used for HTTPS, canonical domains, and site migrations.
Temporary redirects
- 302 means a temporary redirect, often used for campaigns or routing.
- 307 is temporary and preserves the request method.
- Temporary redirects are useful when the final destination may change later.
Common Uses
SEO migrations
Confirm that old URLs redirect directly to the best new destination without extra hops, chains, or redirect loops.
HTTPS and canonical domains
Check that HTTP redirects to HTTPS and that www or non-www versions resolve to the preferred canonical domain.
Short links and tracking URLs
Expand shortened URLs and marketing links to see every intermediate destination before the final page.
