How to use the Redirect Checker

  1. Enter the address to trace.
  2. Click Trace redirects.
  3. Review each hop and the recommendations.

Long redirect chains slow pages down and waste crawl budget; temporary redirects (302, 307) may not pass ranking signals the way permanent ones (301, 308) do. The checker follows up to ten hops and stops on loops.

Frequently asked questions
