Redirect Checker
Enter a URL and see the final URL your browser lands on and whether a redirect happened. Browsers follow redirects automatically, so the full redirect chain and intermediate status codes cannot be observed from a browser tool — and cross-site checks are often blocked entirely. This page explains both limits clearly instead of inventing a chain.
For the full redirect chain, use a server-side checker. This browser tool reports only what the browser can actually observe.
What this tool cannot do
The full redirect chain (301 vs 302 at each hop) cannot be observed from a browser, and many URLs are CORS-blocked. For a full chain, use a server-side redirect checker.
How to use it
- Enter the full URL.
- Click Check redirect.
- Read the final URL and whether a redirect occurred.
- For the full chain, use a server-side tool and compare each hop.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I see each redirect step?
Browsers follow redirects before a page script can inspect them, and they do not expose the intermediate responses. This is a browser limit, not a bug.
Is a redirect bad for SEO?
A single, correct redirect (usually 301 for a permanent move) is normal. Long chains and loops are the problems to fix.
