Redirect Tracer

Where does that URL actually go?

Trace HTTP redirect chains step by step. See every hop, status code, and header to find loops, broken endpoints, and unnecessary redirects.

Redirect chains are invisible to visitors but critical for SEO. Every hop in a chain costs crawl budget, adds latency, and can lose link equity. Worse, redirect loops can make pages completely inaccessible. Redirect Tracer follows the full chain and shows you exactly what happens at every step.

Redirect Chain Tracing

Every hop in a redirect chain costs crawl budget, adds latency, and can lose link equity. Google follows up to 10 hops before giving up. Redirect Tracer follows the complete chain for any URL, showing every hop with its status code, response headers, and final destination.

What we check:

  • Full redirect chain following
  • Status code reporting per hop
  • Response header inspection
  • Loop and broken endpoint detection
