What is a Redirect Checker?
A redirect checker is a tool that traces how a URL is forwarded to another URL. It reveals whether a redirect is permanent (301) or temporary (302), and helps you verify that users and search engines land on the correct final page.

Why Redirect Chains Matter for SEO
Crawl Efficiency
Long redirect chains slow down crawlers and waste crawl budget, which can delay indexing.
Page Speed
Every redirect adds latency and can hurt user experience and Core Web Vitals.
Link Equity
Excessive redirects may reduce the SEO value passed from inbound links over time.
Common Redirect Issues (Loops, Chains, Errors)
Redirect Loops
A redirect loop occurs when a URL redirects back to itself (directly or indirectly), preventing the final page from loading.
Chains & Mixed Status Codes
Chains with multiple 301/302 hops can be simplified. Mixed redirects (HTTP → HTTPS → WWW) should usually resolve to a single clean final URL.
