Redirect Checker

About This Tool

So, you’ve got a link. Maybe it’s from an old blog post, a forwarded email, or something you found buried in a spreadsheet. You click it, and—surprise—it goes somewhere else. That’s a redirect. And if you’re not careful, it can lead to broken pages, sketchy sites, or just wasted time. That’s where a redirect checker comes in. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t promise to fix your SEO or boost your traffic. But it *does* tell you exactly where a URL really ends up—and how it gets there. No guesswork. No clicking blindly. Just the facts. I’ve used these tools for years, mostly when cleaning up old links or debugging weird behavior on client sites. They’re simple, but they save hours. This one? It’s straightforward. Paste a URL, hit go, and see the full chain—every hop, every status code, every delay.

Key Features

• Shows the full redirect path—no hidden steps
• Displays HTTP status codes (like 301, 302, 404) so you know what’s happening
• Tells you how long each step takes—useful for spotting slow redirects
• Works with HTTP and HTTPS links
• No signup. No ads. Just paste and check.
• Supports bulk checking if you’ve got a list of URLs to audit

It won’t fix your redirects for you. But it’ll show you exactly what’s broken—or what’s suspicious. That’s usually enough to get things sorted.

FAQ

Why do I need to check redirects?
Because not all redirects are created equal. A 301 means “moved permanently”—good for SEO. A 302 is temporary, and search engines treat it differently. And sometimes, a link redirects five times before landing on a 404. That’s a mess. This tool helps you spot those issues before they hurt your site or confuse your users.

Can it detect malicious redirects?
It can flag suspicious behavior—like redirecting to a completely different domain or looping endlessly. But it’s not a security scanner. If you’re worried about phishing or malware, use a dedicated security tool. This one’s just for mapping where links actually go.
