Free 301 and 302 Redirect Checker

What this redirect checker shows

For each URL it follows the redirects one step at a time, the way a browser or Googlebot would, and lists every hop with its HTTP status code, response time and destination. It stops at the final page, a loop, an error or after ten hops.

How to use it

1. Paste one URL per line. Bare domains like example.com.au are checked over https.
2. To test a migration, add the expected new URL after a comma on each line.
3. Review anything marked Issue or Review, then download the CSV for your developer.

What good redirects look like

• One hop. Each old URL goes straight to its final page with a single 301.
• Permanent codes for permanent moves. Use 301 or 308, not 302 or 307.
• One version of your site. http and https, www and non-www all land on the same address.
• Relevant destinations. Old pages point at the closest matching new page, not the homepage.

Common redirect problems

• Chains, where http goes to https, then to www, then to a trailing slash version. Each extra hop slows the page and wastes crawl budget.
• Loops, where two rules send visitors back and forth until the browser gives up.
• Temporary 302s left in place after a redesign, so Google keeps the old URL.
• Old pages redirected to the homepage, which Google often treats as a soft 404.
