What is a redirect checker?
A redirect checker requests a URL and follows each HTTP redirect response until it reaches a final page or detects a problem. It shows the status code and destination at every step.

Redirect checker FAQ
What the redirect trace means.
Which redirect status codes are checked?
The checker follows redirect responses that include a Location header, including common 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 responses.
Why are long redirect chains a problem?
Every extra redirect adds another request before visitors and crawlers reach the final page. Short, direct redirects are easier to maintain and usually respond faster.
Can the checker detect redirect loops?
Yes. It stops when a URL repeats in the same redirect chain and reports the loop instead of continuing to request it.
