URL Redirect Checker & Tracer

Audit your link paths, uncover 301/302 redirect chains, and verify final destinations for SEO and security.

Find out where any link leads without clicking it.

Understanding Link Redirects

A URL redirect is a way to send both users and search engines to a different URL from the one they originally requested. While redirects are necessary when moving content, having too many "hops" in a row creates a redirect chain.

Why SEOs use a Redirect Tracer

  • Audit Affiliate Links: See the full tracking path of affiliate URLs.
  • Security: Verify where a suspicious link leads before opening it in your browser.
  • Page Speed: Every redirect adds roughly 0.5 to 1 second of load time. Reducing chains improves your Core Web Vitals.
  • Identify 302 Hijacking: Ensure your temporary (302) redirects aren't accidentally being indexed instead of your main pages.
