Traces redirect chains for a given URL and returns the full hop sequence, chain depth, and any inefficiencies — so you know which redirects are causing crawl or performance problems.

Interactive tool Structured result Recommended next steps

Best for

Developers and site owners working through a migration, URL restructure, or a site with years of accumulated redirects that have never been properly audited.

Who this tool is for

Developers and site owners working through a migration, URL restructure, or a site with years of accumulated redirects that have never been properly audited.

What this tool checks

The full redirect chain from the submitted URL to its final destination
301 and 302 hop counts and whether chain depth is within acceptable limits
Loop detection and identification of chains that point to themselves or to dead ends
Redundant hops that add latency without serving a purpose

What you will get

A step-by-step breakdown of every redirect hop with status codes
A severity rating — whether the chain is acceptable, worth improving, or causing a real problem
A clear cleanup direction for the highest-friction chains
Enough detail to give a developer a specific fix without re-diagnosing from scratch

Need implementation help?

Need the redirect architecture cleaned up properly across the whole site?

Single-URL checks are a useful starting point, but full redirect cleanup is safest when the entire URL history, canonical setup, and crawl paths are reviewed together. Use the contact form if you need a complete redirect audit and fix plan.
