Find broken web-address forwards that lose you visitors

It follows your URL hop by hop and shows the full redirect chain with each status code (301, 302, etc.), the final destination, and any problems — chains, loops, insecure http hops, or temporary redirects that leak ranking signal.

Every extra hop adds latency for visitors and crawlers, and each redirect can dilute the link equity passed to the final page. Search engines may also stop following long chains. The fix is to point the original URL straight to the final destination with a single 301.

Yes. A 301 is a permanent redirect that passes (almost) full ranking signal; a 302/307 is temporary and is often treated as 'keep the old URL indexed.' For permanent moves, always use 301.

A loop is when URLs redirect to each other endlessly, so visitors and crawlers never reach a real page — the page simply fails to load. This tool detects loops and flags exactly where.
