What this tool does
URL Redirect Checker follows a URL redirect chain and reports where each step leads.
← All Tools
↪️ URL Redirect Checker
Analyze a pasted redirect chain for hops, status codes, HTTPS, and final URL issues.
Sensitive link note
- This page is designed for pasted redirect chains rather than fetching URLs directly.
- Do not paste password reset links, signed URLs, private dashboard links, or links containing tokens you would not share publicly.
Paste one hop per line as status URL. This browser-local checker avoids acting as an open proxy.
Why it is useful
It helps debug canonical URLs, tracking links, migration redirects, HTTP-to-HTTPS rules, and unexpected destinations.
How it works
The checker requests a URL and records redirect status codes and locations until it reaches a final response or limit.
Best input
Use public URLs you are comfortable checking. Include https:// or http://.
SEO tip
Keep important redirects short, stable, and pointed at the most relevant final page.
Privacy note
This network tool sends the URL being checked. Do not submit private links, signed URLs, password-reset links, or tokenized URLs.
Important limitation
Redirect behavior can vary by region, cookies, user agent, device, or bot-detection rules.
Quick answers
How many redirects is too many?
Fewer is better. Long chains slow users and can confuse crawlers.
Can redirects be dangerous?
Yes. Inspect unfamiliar shortened links before visiting them.
Common Use Cases
Review migration redirect maps
Paste redirect hops from curl or logs to identify long chains and incorrect final statuses.
Check HTTPS canonicalization
Spot HTTP-to-HTTPS and non-www/www chains before search engines crawl them.
Summarize redirect QA
Copy redirect chain notes into a launch checklist.
HTTP Developer Workbench workflow
Move between curl conversion, webhook testing, status-code reference, typed HTTP security diagnostics, redirect-chain analysis, status samples, MIME lookups, and user-agent parsing while keeping network behavior explicit.
