Redirect checker online

Check the full redirect chain of a public URL: HTTP 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 responses, Location headers, meta refresh, simple JavaScript redirects, final URL, response time and important headers.

The report helps find redirect loops, unnecessary hops, HTTPS downgrades, broken final pages and SEO migration issues before users or search crawlers hit them.

Use the tool after changing URL structure, moving to HTTPS, configuring canonical domains or updating nginx/Apache redirect rules.
A short chain is usually best: one hop from HTTP to HTTPS or from an old URL to a new URL is better than several intermediate redirects.
User-Agent selection helps reveal different responses for desktop browsers, mobile devices and search crawlers.
If the final URL returns 4xx or 5xx, the redirect technically worked, but users and bots still land on an error page.
Meta refresh and JavaScript redirects are harder for crawlers to interpret and should usually be used only when an HTTP redirect is not possible.
HTTPS to HTTP downgrade is a security issue because it can reduce browser trust and hurt user experience.
