Enter a domain or URL and see every hop in the chain, with its status code and response time.
HTTP redirects route visitors and search engine crawlers from one URL to another. While standard practice during site migrations, long redirect chains and loops increase latency (TTFB) and dilute link equity.
This tool traces each hop along the Location header to verify clean status codes (301 permanent or 302 temporary) without insecure intermediate HTTP hops.
Aim for 1 single direct hop to the final canonical URL. More than 2 hops degrade user experience and might cause crawlers to abandon the trace.
A 301 is a permanent redirect that transfers page rank and search authority. A 302 is temporary, meaning search engines keep indexing the original URL.
