Check URL redirects, HTTP status codes, redirect chains and final destinations with a clean, practical tool designed for SEO and website diagnostics.
Enter a URL below to inspect its redirect behavior. The checker follows redirects where your browser is permitted to inspect the response.
Browser-based checks are subject to CORS and server security rules. If the target website blocks cross-origin inspection, the tool will explain that limitation instead of pretending to have verified the redirect.
Redirects are useful when URLs change, but unnecessary chains and incorrect status codes can make website maintenance and SEO more difficult.
Identify response codes such as 200, 301, 302, 307, 308 and other HTTP responses.
See whether the requested URL passes through multiple destinations before reaching the final page.
Identify the destination URL reached after the redirect sequence completes.
Check common permanent and temporary redirect responses during URL migrations and campaigns.
Recognize modern HTTP redirect variants and understand the response being returned.
Review whether an HTTP URL is being redirected toward an HTTPS destination.
A redirect is not automatically a problem. The goal is to keep important URLs accessible, intentional and as direct as practical.
Quick answers about redirects, status codes, chains and SEO.
A redirect checker is a diagnostic tool used to inspect what happens when a browser requests a URL, including the HTTP response and destination reached after redirects.
A 301 is an HTTP permanent redirect response. It is commonly used when a page or URL has permanently moved to another location.
301 indicates a permanent redirect, while 302 is generally used for a temporary redirect. The correct choice depends on why the URL is being redirected.
A redirect chain occurs when one URL redirects to another URL that redirects again before the final destination is reached.
Long or unnecessary chains can make crawling and page access less efficient. For important URLs, a direct redirect to the intended final destination is generally easier to maintain.
Web browsers enforce cross-origin security rules. A destination server can block browser-based inspection through CORS, so a browser-only tool cannot reliably inspect every external URL.
For websites configured to use HTTPS, important URLs should normally resolve to the intended secure HTTPS version rather than leaving users on an unintended HTTP destination.
