Free Redirect Checker

Paste any URL and trace its full redirect path — every hop, status code and final destination. Detect chains and loops instantly.

💡 Pro Tip: Redirect chains (A→B→C) waste crawl budget and dilute PageRank. Collapse them to a single 301 hop wherever possible.

Why use our Redirect Checker?

Professional-grade results — completely free, no account required

🔗

Every Hop, Not Just the Destination

Most checkers show you where a URL lands. This shows each step in between with its own status code, which is where the wasted redirects actually hide.

🔄

Loop Detection

A redirect loop never resolves, so the page simply cannot be indexed. We spot the repeat and stop instead of hanging.

⚠️

Chain Warnings

Anything past a single hop gets flagged. Each extra redirect costs crawl budget and bleeds a little link equity on the way through.

🛡️

Safe by Design

Every hop is re-checked before we follow it, so a URL that redirects into a private network is refused rather than fetched.

📍

Relative Redirects Handled

Chains that cross domains and then redirect relatively resolve against the right host, so the destination shown is the one a browser would reach.

⚡

No Account Needed

Paste a URL, read the chain. Nothing to install and no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions

A chain is when one URL redirects to another, which redirects again — A to B to C. Each hop adds latency for users and costs crawl budget, and search engines pass slightly less link equity through every extra step. Collapse chains to a single 301 pointing straight at the final URL.
