Redirects

Redirect Checker

Run one live URL through the shared redirect inspection runtime to confirm the final target, each hop, and the headers you need before shipping or updating a redirect.

Use notes

This is the canonical single-URL redirect diagnosis page. Redirect Chain Checker is a later sibling for chain-first remediation, not this page.

How this tool handles the task

How it runs

Each run follows one live public URL with manual redirect handling so you can see every hop instead of only the final destination.

Current limits

The checker is bounded to one URL, up to eight requests, and an eight-second timeout. Local or private-network targets are intentionally out of scope.

Privacy

Only the submitted URL is sent to the server for the redirect trace.

Examples

How to use this tool

  1. Run one live public URL at a time so the redirect path stays readable.
  2. Review each hop before you trust the final target, especially when protocol or hostname changes happen.
  3. Once the redirect lands cleanly, validate the final page-level canonical and metadata signals.

Common mistakes and limits

  • A redirect can still be weak if it takes too many hops or lands on a non-200 page.
  • This page diagnoses one URL path, not bulk redirect inventories or migration mapping files.
  • Final URL success does not guarantee the landing page publishes the canonical or robots tags you expect.

FAQ

How is Redirect Checker different from Redirect Chain Checker?

Redirect Checker is the general single-URL diagnosis page. It tells you whether a URL redirects, where it lands, and which headers appeared. Redirect Chain Checker will later focus on chain-first remediation and multi-hop severity.

What does this page return?

It returns the final resolved URL, final status, hop-by-hop statuses, redirect locations, and warnings when the chain loops or exceeds the hop limit.

Why can a redirect still need work even when it resolves?

A redirect can still be weak if it takes too many hops, lands on a non-200 page, loops, or points somewhere you did not intend. This page is meant to catch that before you ship.
