Bulk Redirect Checker

Redirect types we trace

Each hop is reported with its full status code so you can audit redirect quality, not just final URLs.

• 301 — permanent redirect, full link equity passes (correct for migrations)
• 302 — temporary redirect, often misused for permanent moves
• 307 — temporary redirect, preserves request method
• 308 — permanent redirect, preserves request method
• Meta-refresh and JS redirects — detected separately

Why long redirect chains hurt

Each redirect adds latency (typically 50-200ms per hop) and partially dilutes link equity. Three-plus hop chains hurt your search rankings and core web vitals.

We surface chains over 2 hops automatically and flag redirect loops where the chain never terminates.

Common reasons to check redirects in bulk

Site migrations — verify all old URLs redirect to the right new pages with 301s, not 302s.

Backlink audits — check whether links pointing to your site land where you want them after acquired-domain redirects.

Cleanup — find redirect chains created over years of changes and shorten them to single hops.
