Free Redirect Checker

The Redirect Checker is a free url redirect checker that analyzes how URLs redirect and identifies redirect chains. It helps you find redirect loops, unnecessary redirects, and SEO issues caused by improper redirects. This 301 redirect tester ensures your URLs are optimized for both users and search engines.

Our tool follows the redirect chain from your starting URL to the final destination, recording each step, HTTP status code (301, 302, 307, 308), and redirect type. It identifies issues like redirect loops, too many redirects, or mixed redirect types that can harm SEO.

Good redirects are direct (1 hop maximum), use 301 status for permanent redirects, avoid redirect chains, don't create loops, and redirect HTTP to HTTPS properly. Minimize redirects as each hop adds load time and can dilute SEO value.

Yes, our Redirect Checker is 100% free to use with no registration required. You can check unlimited URLs and there are no hidden fees or limitations.

Fix any redirect chains by updating links to point directly to final destinations. Change temporary 302 redirects to permanent 301s where appropriate. Remove redirect loops immediately. Update your .htaccess or server configuration to implement proper redirects.

Absolutely! This 301 redirect tester works for all redirect types including 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary), 307 (temporary), 308 (permanent), meta refresh redirects, and JavaScript redirects. Check redirects from website migrations, domain changes, HTTPS implementation, or URL restructuring.
