Redirect Checker
Enter a URL to trace every redirect hop, status code, response time, and final destination. Use bulk mode to check multiple URLs at once.
Optional: check up to 20 URLs, one per line.
What is a redirect checker?
A redirect checker follows a URL step by step and shows every HTTP redirect hop before the final destination. It helps you see whether a page uses 301, 302, 303, 307, or 308 redirects.
This is useful when testing SEO migrations, campaign links, short URLs, affiliate links, canonical URL changes, HTTP to HTTPS redirects, and old URLs that should point to new pages.
Check 301 redirects
Verify that permanent redirects use the expected 301 status and lead to the correct final URL.
Find redirect chains
See every hop in a redirect chain so you can remove unnecessary steps and reduce latency.
Bulk check URLs
Paste multiple URLs to test redirects for migrations, campaign links, or website audits.
How to check a redirect
- Paste a URL into the URL field, including http:// or https:// when possible.
- Click Trace Redirects to follow each redirect hop.
- Review the status code, target URL, response time, and final destination.
- Use Bulk URLs when you need to check a list of redirects during a migration or audit.
What to look for in a redirect chain
- A 301 status usually means a permanent redirect, while 302 is usually temporary.
- Long redirect chains can slow pages down and waste crawl budget.
- Redirect loops prevent users and crawlers from reaching the final page.
- HTTP to HTTPS and non-www to www redirects should usually resolve in as few hops as possible.
- Campaign and UTM links should preserve their tracking parameters through the final URL.
Related redirect and URL workflows
After checking redirects, you may also need to inspect tracking URLs, HTTP headers, DNS records, SSL setup, or sitemap URLs.
