What is a Redirect?

A URL redirect tells a browser or HTTP client that a resource should be accessed at another URL.

Redirects are commonly used when a page moves to a new URL, HTTP traffic is upgraded to HTTPS, domains are changed, or old URLs need to point to new pages.

Common redirect status codes include 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308.

Common Redirect Status Codes

Code	Type	Description
301	Moved Permanently	The resource has been permanently moved to another URL.
302	Found	The resource is temporarily available at another URL.
303	See Other	The response points the client to another resource.
307	Temporary Redirect	Temporary redirect while preserving the request method.
308	Permanent Redirect	Permanent redirect while preserving the request method.

How Redirect Checker Works

Enter URL

Enter the HTTP or HTTPS URL that you want to inspect.

Follow Redirects

The backend requests the URL and records each redirect response.

Analyze Chain

The tool displays status codes, redirect destinations, final URL and response timing.

Redirect Example

301http://example.com

↓ https://example.com

200https://example.com

↓ Final destination

Why Check Redirects?

SEO Auditing

Find unexpected redirect chains and verify that moved URLs resolve as intended.

Website Migration

Check whether old URLs correctly redirect to their new destinations.

HTTPS Migration

Verify HTTP to HTTPS redirects and inspect the final destination.

Broken Redirects

Identify redirect loops, invalid destinations and unexpected HTTP responses.

Important

The result depends on the response received by the WebTools server. Some websites may block automated requests, require authentication, rate-limit requests, or behave differently depending on the requesting server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 301 redirect?

A 301 status code indicates that a resource has been permanently moved to another URL.

What is the difference between 301 and 302?

301 indicates a permanent redirect, while 302 indicates a temporary redirect.

What is a redirect chain?

A redirect chain occurs when one URL redirects to another URL, which may then redirect again before reaching the final destination.

What is a redirect loop?

A redirect loop occurs when URLs repeatedly redirect between each other without reaching a final destination.

Can redirects affect SEO?

Redirect configuration can affect crawling, indexing and how signals are transferred between URLs, so redirects should be implemented carefully.

Why does the checker sometimes fail?

The target server may block automated requests, require authentication, rate-limit traffic, reject the WebTools server, or use a configuration that prevents the request from completing.
