Paste a URL and we'll follow every hop, showing the status code and timing at each step.
Enter a URL and see every hop it takes before reaching its final destination, with the status code and timing of each step, so you can spot chains, loops and the wrong type of redirect.
01
Every hop
Each redirect in order, from the first address to the final page.
02
Status codes
301, 302, 307, 308 or 404 at each step, explained.
03
Timing
How long each hop takes, so slow chains stand out.
04
Chains and loops
Multiple redirects in a row, or redirects that never resolve.
- 1
Enter a URL
An old page, a short link or an http:// version of your site.
- 2
Follow the hops
We request each step and record the response.
- 3
Clean up
Point old URLs straight to the final page with a single permanent redirect.
Single 301
One permanent redirect straight to a page that returns 200.
Chain of hops
Several redirects in a row slow visitors down and dilute signals. Shorten to one.
Loop or dead end
A redirect that loops or ends in an error stops visitors and crawlers completely.
When pages move, redirects carry visitors and search signals to the new address. Done badly, as temporary redirects, long chains or loops, they slow your site, waste crawl budget and can cost you rankings after a redesign or migration.
About the redirect checker.
A 301 is permanent and tells search engines to transfer signals to the new URL. A 302 is temporary. Use 301 when a page has moved for good.
