Track and analyze your website’s redirect paths in seconds.
This redirect chain checker helps you identify 301, 302, and redirect loops that can harm your SEO performance. Just enter your URL and see every step in the chain.

What Is a Redirect Chain?

A redirect chain occurs when one URL redirects to another, and then again to another, forming a chain (e.g. A → B → C).
Search engines like Google may crawl fewer pages or lose link equity when chains get too long.
Common redirect types include:

  • 301 Permanent Redirects – used for page migrations
  • 302 Temporary Redirects – used for short-term redirections
  • Meta Refresh or JavaScript Redirects – slower and not SEO-friendly

Keeping your redirects clean and direct ensures faster load times and better crawl efficiency.

Why You Should Check Redirect Chains Regularly

Every redirect adds a small delay and can dilute SEO signals.
Multiple redirects in a row can:

  • Slow down your page load speed
  • Cause indexing issues
  • Waste crawl budget
  • Lead to redirect loops (infinite redirects)

Using a redirect chain tool allows you to detect and fix these problems before they impact your rankings.
