Redirect Checker (301 / 302)

Trace how your website handles redirects — verify HTTP-to-HTTPS and www consolidation, and detect unnecessary redirect chains or loops.

Share

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.

Frequently 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.
