Overview
Use it when the format needs to change, not the meaning
Use Redirect Checker when a URL needs its hop-by-hop path confirmed before it ships.

Workflow
Follow a redirect chain
Use this flow when you need to know where a URL actually ends up.
- Paste the source URL.
- Run the checker to follow each hop.
- Review the final destination and copy the result if needed.
What you get
Check the result before you copy it into the next step
Hop list
Each redirect step is shown in order.
Final destination
The end URL appears once the chain finishes.
Avoid these mistakes
Small input problems create the biggest conversion errors
Checking the wrong protocol
Test the exact URL you want to ship, including http or https.
Ignoring chain length
Long chains can hide problems even when the final URL is correct.
Glossary
Decode the terms before you act on them
This section translates the most technical labels on the page into plain language so you can interpret the output without opening another tab.
Redirect hop
A redirect hop is one step in the chain from the starting URL to the final destination.
301 redirect
A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect status code. It tells clients the resource should usually be treated as moved for the long term.
302 redirect
A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect status code. It usually means the client should not assume the move is permanent.
Final destination
The final destination is the last URL reached after all redirects finish.
