What is a Redirect Checker?

A redirect checker is a technical SEO tool that traces how a URL responds when requested by a browser or search engine. If a URL redirects (for example with a 301 or 302), this tool shows each hop in the chain and the final destination URL.

Why Use Our Redirect Checker?

Redirects are common during website migrations, HTTPS upgrades, URL structure changes, and canonicalization fixes (www vs non-www). But long redirect chains and loops can waste crawl budget, slow down users, and weaken SEO signals.

How to Use the Redirect Checker

Paste your URLs (one per line), choose the max redirect limit, and click Check Redirects. You’ll get the final URL, final status code, and the full redirect chain.

Common Redirect Status Codes

301 = Permanent redirect (best for SEO when a URL is moved forever).
302 = Temporary redirect (use when a change is temporary).
307/308 = HTTP/1.1 temporary/permanent redirects (similar intent to 302/301).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many URLs can I check at once?
You can check up to 50 URLs per run, with up to 20 redirect hops per URL.
Does this tool follow redirects like a browser?
Yes. It reads the HTTP status code and Location header, resolves relative redirects, and continues until a final status is reached or the hop limit is exceeded.
Why do I see a 403/401/405 for some URLs?
Some servers block automated requests or don’t allow HEAD requests. We attempt a safe fallback request when needed, but access restrictions can still prevent checks.
Which redirect type is best for SEO?
In most permanent URL changes, a 301 (or 308) is recommended. For temporary changes, use 302 (or 307).
