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.
