Redirect Checker (301 / 302)
Trace how your website handles redirects: verify HTTP-to-HTTPS and www consolidation, and detect unnecessary redirect chains or loops.
What the tool checks
- Redirect type (301 permanent vs. 302 temporary)
- Redirect chains and number of hops
- HTTP to HTTPS consolidation
- www vs. non-www canonical consolidation
- Redirect loop and dead-end detection
Why it matters
Redirect chains dilute SEO authority and slow your site down. Each extra hop shaves off a portion of "link equity" passed to the destination URL. Using a temporary 302 where a permanent 301 is needed prevents that equity from being fully transferred to the new address.
Detailed guide in the help centerFrequently asked questions
What's the difference between a 301 and a 302?
A 301 is a permanent redirect (passes full SEO value to the new URL); a 302 is temporary (passes limited value). Always use 301 for permanent URL changes.
Do redirect chains hurt SEO?
Yes. A chain like A→B→C slows page load and weakens the link equity passed along. Aim for a single direct redirect from old URL to final destination.
Should I consolidate www and non-www?
Absolutely. Pick one canonical version and permanently redirect (301) the other to it. Having both accessible creates duplicate content issues.
