Redirect Chain Checker
Enter a URL. See every hop, status code, and final destination. Runs via a JSONP proxy so any URL works — no CORS limits.
Why redirect chains kill SEO
Each hop costs milliseconds, drops PageRank slightly, and increases the chance Google gives up. Google's own advice: keep chains to 1 hop max, only use 301 for SEO-critical paths.
| Status | Meaning | SEO impact |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | OK — final destination | 🟢 Ideal endpoint |
| 301 | Permanent redirect | 🟢 Preserves ~99% link equity |
| 302 | Temporary redirect | 🟡 May pass equity long-term |
| 404 | Not found | 🔴 Broken — restore or 301 elsewhere |
| 410 | Gone (permanent) | 🟡 Cleanly deindexes |
| 5xx | Server error | 🔴 Fix immediately |
