A redirect sends a visitor from 1 address to another. Done badly, it slows every visit and confuses search engines.

This free redirect checker follows any address hop by hop, shows each status code, and checks the 4 versions of it: http and https, with and without www.

Here's what it shows, what the status codes mean, and how to fix what it finds.

Key takeaways

My free redirect checker follows any address hop by hop to show every status code and destination.
The tool inspects seven items and catches loops where two redirects point at each other without loading.
Use a 301 or 308 code for permanent moves so search engines pass standing to the new address.
Fix most redirect problems by pointing every version at one address over https in one hop.

What is a redirect checker?

A redirect checker is a tool that follows an address the way a browser does, and shows every redirect on the way to the final page.

Mine fetches each hop by hand, so you see every status code, where it points, how long it took, and the server that answered.

How to check a redirect

Check an address's redirects0/4

Redirect status codes

Each hop answers with a status code that says what kind of move it is:

  • 301 and 308 – moved for good. Search engines move the old address's standing to the new one.
  • 302 and 307 – moved for now. Search engines may keep the old address.
  • 303 – see another page, often after a form is sent.
  • 200 – the page itself, the end of the path.

Use a 301 or 308 for any move that's for good.

What the checker looks for

It checks 7 things: that the address reaches a working page, how many redirects it takes, whether they're permanent, that http goes to https, that all 4 versions end at 1 address, that every version answers, and that no redirect hides inside the page.

It also catches loops, where 2 redirects point at each other and the page never loads.

How to fix redirect problems

Most fixes are 1 setting at your host. Point every version at 1 address, with or without www, over https, in 1 hop.

Then update links on your own site to the final address, so visitors skip the redirect.

Redirect Checker FAQs

Questions about redirects? Here's what to know.

A redirect checker is a tool that follows an address and shows every redirect on the way to the final page.

This one shows each status code, where each hop points, and how long it took.

A 301 says the page moved for good, and a 302 says it moved for now.

Search engines move the old address's standing to the new one only for a permanent move.

A 308 is a permanent redirect, like a 301, that keeps the request exactly as it was.

Search engines treat it as permanent.

1 redirect is fine, and 2 or 3 slow every visit.

Past that, search engines may stop following before they reach the page.

People type your site every way, and each version should land on the same page.

If 2 versions answer separately, search engines see copies of your site.

It means your host serves that version, but its HTTPS certificate doesn't cover it.

Add the version to your host so it gets a certificate, then redirect it to your main address.

A redirect loop is 2 or more redirects that point at each other, so the page never loads.

The checker stops after 10 hops and shows the loop.

Yes, the redirect checker is free, with no sign-up.

To keep it free for everyone, each person can run 20 checks every 10 minutes.
