Follow a URL through every hop to its final destination — see each status code, catch chains and loops, and confirm you are using the right redirect type.
Output / RDR
Enter a public URL above. Your live diagnostics will appear here without a login or paywall.
Enter any URL and this tool follows it hop by hop — safely, on the live response — and reports each step: the status code, the URL, and where it points next, ending at the final page.
It follows every hop from the URL you enter to its final destination and shows each step — the status code (301, 302, 307, 308), the URL, and where it points next. That lets you spot redirect chains, loops, and the wrong redirect type before they cost you rankings or speed.
A 301 is a permanent redirect — it passes ranking signals and tells search engines the move is final. A 302 (and 307) is temporary, so engines keep the old URL indexed. Use 301 for permanent moves; a 302 left in place by mistake is a common SEO leak.
Each extra hop adds latency and can dilute link signals. A chain of three or more redirects slows the page and wastes crawl budget. Point the first URL straight at the final destination whenever you can.
A loop is when redirects point back to each other and never reach a real page, so the browser gives up. It usually comes from conflicting rules — for example www→non-www and http→https fighting each other. This tool flags a chain that runs too long to terminate.

Being crawlable is step one. The AI Visibility Checker shows whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini name and cite your brand — and who they name instead.
