Redirect PathChecker
Every redirect hop slows the page and leaks a little authority. Trace the full chain a URL travels — see each 301/302 hop, catch loops and long chains, and confirm where you actually land.
Followed server-side, hop by hop — no cross-site browser request. Up to 10 hops.
Redirect hygiene is quiet, compounding SEO
A redirect is a detour. One clean 301 from an old URL to a new one is exactly what you want — it tells search engines "this moved permanently, pass the authority along." Problems start when detours stack up: a chain of three or four hops, a 302 (temporary) used where a 301 belongs, or a redirect that quietly loops back on itself.
Every extra hop adds latency for real users, burns a little crawl budget, and historically has been associated with some loss of passed authority. Chains also break in subtle ways over time as URLs change. The fix is almost always to flatten: point the original URL straight at the final destination with a single 301.
This tool shows you the exact path so you know whether you have a clean single hop or a chain that needs flattening — and whether your "permanent" moves are actually using permanent status codes.
