Redirect Checker
How This Helps and Tips
Redirects keep users and crawlers on the right destination after URLs change, but extra hops and wrong status codes create SEO and performance drag.
- Identify 302 usage when you expected a permanent 301.
- Spot slow redirects from the load-time column.
- Check final status codes so the journey ends on a working page.
- Confirm protocol and domain changes when moving from
http://tohttps://or between hosts.
Steps:
- Enter the URL you want to inspect and run the checker.
- Review each hop for status code, load time, domain, and final content type.
- Update server or CMS rules if you find loops, excess hops, or the wrong redirect type.
Example: http://oldsite.com 301s to https://newsite.com, but the chain also contains an unexpected 302 before the final 200. Removing the extra hop improves crawl efficiency and user experience.
