Redirect checker.Every hop, from the link to the page.
Enter an address. We follow it hop by hop, show each status code and time, and test the http, https, www and non-www versions of your domain to make sure they all end on the same page.
What the checker looks at
- Each hop
- The status code, the next address and how long each step took, up to 10 hops.
- Redirect type
- Permanent (301, 308) or temporary (302, 303, 307). Only permanent ones tell search engines a page has moved for good.
- Chains and loops
- Redirects that lead to more redirects, or back to where they started.
- Your domain's versions
- Whether http, https, www and non-www all end at the same page.
Fixing redirects
- Point old links at the final page
- When you move a page twice, update the first redirect to go straight to the newest address.
- Use 301 for moves
- A 302 says the move is temporary. For a page that has moved for good, use 301 or 308.
- Pick one domain version
- Choose https with or without www and redirect the other three to it, then use that version everywhere.
- Update your own links
- Menus, sitemaps and articles should link to final addresses, so neither visitors nor crawlers pass through redirects.

A 301 says a page has moved permanently, so search engines index the new address. A 302 says the move is temporary and the old address should stay in search.
Google follows up to 10 hops, so short chains are not a penalty, but each hop slows visitors down and wastes crawling. One hop is best.
Addresses that redirect to each other in a circle, so the page never opens. Browsers show “too many redirects”.
Either is fine. What matters is choosing one and redirecting the other, on both http and https, so all four end on the same page.
They are the temporary and permanent redirects that keep the request method. Search engines treat 308 like 301 and 307 like 302.
