About this tool
A single click can hide several redirects: an old URL to a canonicalized one, http to https, a tracking wrapper to the real destination. Each hop costs time and, for a 302 chained through several steps into a 200, can quietly cost SEO ranking signal too — seeing the whole chain is the only way to know it's there.
How to use it
- Enter a URL, including one you suspect redirects.
- Press Check to follow every hop and see its status code and Location header, in order.
- The final URL, its status and the total time are summarized at the end of the chain.
Examples
Common problems
- The check fails with a "too many redirects" error.
- The chain didn't resolve within 15 hops — that's almost always a genuine redirect loop (A → B → A) rather than a limit that's too low for a real site.
