Redirect Tracer & Checker
Follow every HTTP redirect hop and display the full chain with status codes.
About Redirect Tracer
Follows every hop in an HTTP redirect chain from a starting URL to its final destination, showing the status code (301, 302, 307, etc.) and target at each step. Redirect chains that are too long hurt page load time and can trip up crawlers or link-checking tools. The distinction between a 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirect matters for SEO and caching behavior, and this surfaces exactly which type is in use at each hop.
A redirect chain that loops back on itself will exhaust normal browser/crawler retry limits and fail outright — if a chain here doesn't reach a final destination, check for a loop before assuming it's just unusually long.
What this checks
Follows 301, 302, 303, 307, 308 redirects up to 15 hops. Useful for debugging URL shorteners, canonical chains, and misconfigured redirects.
