Redirect Chain Checker
Trace the full redirect path for any URL. See every hop, status code, response time and final destination. Essential for site migrations and technical audits.
Redirect status codes explained
301 — Permanent
The URL has moved permanently. Passes most link equity. Use for all permanent moves.
302 — Temporary
Temporary redirect. Does not transfer link equity as reliably. Often used by mistake for permanent moves.
307 — Temp (method preserved)
Like 302 but preserves the HTTP method. Common for HTTPS upgrades in some server configs.
308 — Permanent (method preserved)
Like 301 but preserves POST requests. Increasingly used for HTTPS redirects.
404 — Not found
Destination page doesn't exist. Broken links waste crawl budget and hurt user experience.
200 — OK
The final destination. A chain should always end with a 200 for the page to rank.
