About this tool
Check where a URL really ends up. The tool requests your URL and reports the final destination, whether a redirect occurred, HTTPS/HTTP and www/non-www consistency, and flags common problems like meta-refresh and JavaScript redirects found in the destination HTML.
How to use the Redirect Checker
- Enter the URL to trace.
- Review the final destination and redirect verdict.
- Replace chained or temporary (302) redirects with single 301 hops.
Frequently asked questions
Do redirects lose PageRank?
A single 301/308 passes essentially full value; long chains add crawl cost and risk.
301 or 302 — which should I use?
301 for permanent moves (passes signals), 302 only for genuinely temporary situations.
