Redirect Checker
Trace HTTP redirects (301, 302, 307, 308) step by step.
What are HTTP Redirects?
An HTTP redirect is a server response that tells the browser to go to a different URL. They are used for page migrations, HTTPS upgrades, geo-routing, and traffic management.
Redirect Types
301 Moved Permanently
Permanent move. Best for SEO - passes PageRank to the new URL.
302 Found (Temporary)
Temporary move. Does not pass PageRank. Use for maintenance pages.
307 Temporary Redirect
Like 302 but preserves the HTTP method (POST stays POST).
308 Permanent Redirect
Like 301 but preserves the HTTP method. The modern successor to 301.
Redirect Chains & SEO
Redirect chains - where one URL leads to another that leads to another - increase load time and dilute PageRank. Google recommends avoiding chains longer than 3 hops. Always use 301 instead of 302 for permanent moves.
