Enter a URL and see every redirect hop: status codes (301, 302, 307), intermediate URLs, response headers, and the final destination.
HTTP Redirect Checker is a browser-based tool on 24Toolkit. Enter a URL and see every redirect hop: status codes (301, 302, 307), intermediate URLs, response headers, and the final destination. The HTTP Redirect Checker is a vital diagnostic tool for webmasters, SEO specialists, and developers. It allows you to trace the complete journey of a URL from the moment a user clicks it until the final destination page is loaded. In the complex world of web infrastructure, a simple link often goes through multiple 'hops' or redirects before resolving. Redirects are essential for maintaining site health, especially during migrations, domain changes, or when moving from HTTP to HTTPS. However, improper implementation can lead to 'redirect chains'—a series of multiple redirects that slow down page load speed, dilute SEO ranking power (link equity), and waste search engine crawl budget.

FAQ
Why are redirect chains bad for SEO?
Redirect chains increase page load latency, which is a core web vital. Furthermore, every hop in a chain may cause a small loss of 'link juice' (ranking power) and forces search engine bots to use more crawl budget, potentially leading to fewer pages of your site being indexed.
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
A 301 redirect indicates a 'Permanent' move, telling search engines to transfer all ranking authority to the new URL. A 302 redirect is 'Temporary', suggesting the original URL might return, and thus, it does not pass full ranking authority to the new destination.
Why is HTTP to HTTPS redirection important?
Security and Trust. Modern browsers mark HTTP sites as 'Not Secure'. Redirecting all traffic to HTTPS ensures user data is encrypted. Additionally, Google uses HTTPS as a lightweight ranking signal.
