Frequently Asked Questions
What redirect types does this detect?
We detect all HTTP redirects including 301 (permanent), 302 (found), 303 (see other), 307 (temporary), and 308 (permanent). We also detect meta refresh redirects.
Does this tool actually follow the redirects?
Yes, we make real HTTP requests to trace the full redirect chain. This gives accurate results for how browsers and search engines will follow your redirects.
Can this detect redirect loops?
Yes, we limit the maximum number of redirects (default 10) to detect and report infinite redirect loops, which can cause browser errors.
Why is this useful for SEO?
Search engines like Google follow redirects but too many hops can lose link equity. Redirect chains should be as short as possible, ideally direct 301 redirects.
What information is shown for each redirect?
For each hop you see the URL, HTTP status code, response time, and you can expand to see response headers including Location, Server, Cache-Control, and more.
