Shows all redirects, including codes 301, 302, 404, and others. This helps find unnecessary redirects that can negatively impact SEO.
Allows you to detect cyclical redirects, loss of link juice, and incorrect server settings. Convenient when migrating sites and checking new pages.
Just paste the link, and the tool will provide a complete analysis of all redirects. Does not require registration or additional settings.
The Redirect Checker allows you to analyze HTTP redirects and view the complete redirect chain between URLs.
The tool helps you:
check 301, 302, 307, and 308 redirects
view the full redirect chain
identify the final destination URL
detect configuration issues
verify HTTPS and www/non-www behavior
Suitable for SEO audits, website migrations, and troubleshooting page accessibility issues.
After running a check, you will see:
the original URL
the final URL
HTTP status codes for each step
the complete redirect chain
the number of redirects
This helps you quickly understand how both users and search engine crawlers navigate between pages.
Code | Type | Meaning | When to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
301 | Permanent Redirect | Permanent redirect | Page migration, canonical URL |
302 | Temporary Redirect | Temporary redirect | Temporary changes |
303 | See Other | Redirect to a different resource | After POST requests |
307 | Temporary Redirect | Temporary redirect without changing the HTTP method | APIs, forms |
308 | Permanent Redirect | Permanent redirect without changing the HTTP method | Modern replacement for 301, permanent redirects while preserving the request method |
200 | Success | Successful request | Correct page loading |
404 | Not Found | Page not found | Missing or deleted pages |
Each additional redirect:
slows down page loading
reduces crawl efficiency
complicates indexing
may cause loss of link equity
negatively affects user experience
Try to keep redirect chains as short as possible and redirect directly to the final destination URL whenever possible.
Scenario | Example | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
SSL implementation | HTTP → HTTPS | ✅ Good |
Page migration | Old page → New page | ✅ Good |
Unnecessary steps | HTTP → WWW → HTTPS → Final page | ⚠️ Can be optimized |
Long redirect chain | Page A → Page B → Page C → Final page | ⚠️ Should be shortened |
Redirect loop | Page A → Page B → Page A | ❌ Error |
Long redirect chains: slow down websites and negatively impact SEO.
Redirect loops: make pages inaccessible.
Using 302 instead of 301: search engines may not transfer ranking signals correctly.
Inconsistent redirects: HTTP, HTTPS, www, and non-www versions behave differently.
Soft 404 errors: the server returns 200 OK instead of an error status.
A soft 404 occurs when a page effectively does not exist, but the server returns a 200 OK status code instead of a proper 404 error.
Update internal links to point directly to the final URL.
Use no more than 1–2 redirect steps whenever possible.
Check redirects after releases or changes to your CMS, CDN, or web server configuration.
Configure a single canonical URL version.
Use 301 redirects for permanent moves.
Regularly verify legacy URLs after website migrations.
Redirect checking allows you to analyze what redirects occur when a web page loads. This is an important tool for SEO optimization, as incorrect redirects can negatively affect site indexing and user experience.
The service displays the redirection chain, including HTTP response codes (301, 302, 307, 404, etc.), which helps identify redirect loops and configuration errors. This is useful when migrating sites and fixing broken links.
The tool works online, requires no installation, and helps webmasters, SEO specialists, and developers audit the site's link structure, avoiding traffic loss.
A redirect automatically sends users from one URL to another. Checking redirects helps identify broken links, redirect chains, SEO issues, and ensures users reach the final URL.
Common redirects include 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary), 303, and 307 (temporary). Each serves different purposes and affects SEO differently.
Redirect chains slow down page loading and can dilute link authority. Search engines may not follow long chains, potentially impacting rankings. Keep redirect chains short and use direct redirects where possible.
301 redirects are permanent and pass link authority to the new URL. 302 redirects are temporary and do not pass full link authority. Use 301 for permanent moves and 302 for temporary changes.
Update internal links to point directly to final destinations, eliminate unnecessary redirect chains, fix broken redirects, and ensure redirects use the correct status codes for your situation.
Meta redirects are implemented within the page's HTML code (meta refresh tag) and are generally not recommended for SEO, as they are slower and can confuse search engines, not properly passing link authority.
Yes, each hop in a redirect chain adds a delay to page load time, as the browser needs to make a new request for each redirect. This negatively impacts user experience and SEO.
A 'soft 404' occurs when a page doesn't exist, but the server returns a 200 (OK) status code instead of a 404 (Not Found), redirecting the user to another page. This can confuse search engines and negatively impact crawling.
