Redirect Checker

A redirect is an HTTP response that tells the client to continue at a different URL. The checker reports each hop and the final status that URL returns.

301 Moved Permanently means the resource has a new lasting URL. 302 Found means the move is treated as temporary. Both can send a client to another address.

307 Temporary Redirect and 308 Permanent Redirect also send the client to another URL while keeping the original request method. This checker follows them when a Location header is present.

This checker follows at most five redirects. A longer chain is reported as too many redirects rather than a complete result.

A chain shows whether a URL moves, how many times, and where it ends. That helps confirm a canonical address and catch unexpected hops.

A redirect loop sends the client back to a URL already in the chain, such as A to B to A. The checker stops and reports that instead of repeating hops.

Yes. It follows a small bounded number of standard redirects with a Location header and lists every hop, including the final response.

No. Only public HTTP and HTTPS URLs can be checked. Localhost and private network addresses are rejected, including when a public URL redirects to one.

Browsers can send cookies, extra headers, or cached responses. This checker sends a simple server-side GET from IngoHub infrastructure, so the chain can differ.
