Redirect Checker
FreeTrace HTTP redirect chains for any URL
About Redirect Checker
Redirect chains quietly hurt performance and SEO — each hop adds latency, and a stray 302 where you meant a 301 can leak ranking signals. Redirect Checker traces the full chain for a URL, showing every hop, its status code, and the final destination, so you can see exactly how a request resolves.
Enter a URL and the tool follows the redirects step by step and reports each one in your browser. It is free, has no account requirement, and runs instantly. Use it to confirm a migration's redirects land where they should, to catch unnecessary extra hops, or to verify that temporary and permanent redirects are using the right status codes.
Common uses
- Confirm a site migration's URLs redirect to the correct new destinations
- Catch redirect chains with extra hops that add latency and dilute SEO
- Verify that a permanent move uses a 301 rather than a temporary 302
- Debug a redirect loop by tracing where the chain repeats

FAQ
Does it show every hop in the chain?
Yes, it lists each redirect, its status code, and the target URL through to the final destination.
Why does a 301 versus 302 matter?
A 301 signals a permanent move and passes ranking signals to the new URL; a 302 is temporary. Using the wrong one can affect SEO and caching.
Can it detect a redirect loop?
Yes. If the chain cycles back on itself, you'll see the repeating hops so you can identify the loop.
Can I use Redirect Checker on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
