HTTP Redirect Checker
Inspect full redirect paths, verify HTTP status codes (301, 302, 307, 308), detect latency bottlenecks, and diagnose broken loops.
Understanding HTTP Redirect Chains & Status Codes
When websites undergo migrations, domain branding shifts, or protocol upgrades (HTTP to HTTPS), redirects ensure visitors and search engine spiders reach the intended destination. Auditing these paths prevents lost search ranking equity and slow page loads.
Moved Permanently
Transfers 90-99% of ranking equity (PageRank) to the destination. Highly recommended for permanent domain changes, directory reorganizations, and canonical redirects.
Permanent Redirect
Like a 301, but strictly forbids user agents from mutating the HTTP verb (e.g. POST cannot be converted to GET). Ideal for modern REST APIs and Next.js routing.
Found / Temporary
Directs users temporarily without passing permanent link equity. Common for geo-targeting, seasonal promotional landers, or maintenance redirects.
Temporary Redirect
The temporary equivalent of 308. Retains the original HTTP request method across the redirect hop, essential for API webhooks and form submissions.
Aim for a direct 1-to-1 redirect wherever possible. If Page A redirects to Page B, and Page B redirects to Page C, update Page A to point directly to Page C. This eliminates an unnecessary HTTP hop, saves server compute, and speeds up page load times for visitors.
