Frequently Asked Questions
Why is checking redirects important for SEO?
Properly implemented redirects (like a 301 'Permanent Redirect') are crucial for SEO. They tell search engines that a page has moved, ensuring that link equity (or 'link juice') is passed to the new URL. Long redirect chains or incorrect redirect types (like a 302 'Temporary Redirect' for a permanent move) can hurt your search rankings.
What's the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?
A 301 redirect is permanent. It tells search engines that the page has moved for good, and they should update their index. A 302 redirect is temporary, telling search engines not to update their index because the original page will be back. Using a 302 for a permanent move is a common SEO mistake.
Is this free online redirect checker tool safe to use?
Yes. The tool simply makes standard HTTP requests to the URLs you provide, just like a web browser does. It does not access any sensitive information.
What this tool is for
The redirect checker follows a URL and reports the redirect path, status codes, and final destination. Use it when testing HTTP to HTTPS moves, www to non-www redirects, changed page URLs, affiliate or campaign links, and site migrations. A clean redirect chain helps users and crawlers reach the intended page with fewer hops. Watch for loops, mixed temporary and permanent redirects, unexpected tracking jumps, or redirects that end on an error page.
Common tasks
