Redirect Chain Checker
Redirect Chain Checker
Detect multi-step 301 and 302 redirect paths, measure hop-by-hop latency, and reclaim wasted PageRank link equity.
Diagnostic Capability
What the Chain Checker Measures
Comprehensive evaluation of multi-hop latency bottlenecks and crawl budget health.
Hop-by-Hop Trace
Maps every single step in a multi-hop sequence (URL A → URL B → URL C), highlighting intermediate 301/302 status codes.
Per-Hop Latency Breakdown
Measures exact millisecond delays across each redirect hop to identify network bottlenecks hurting Core Web Vitals.
Crawl Budget Efficiency
Googlebot aborts crawling after 5 hops. Flattening redirect chains ensures search crawlers index target URLs directly.
Link Equity Preservation
Multi-hop chains introduce signal loss. Replacing 2-hop chains with a single 301 redirect preserves PageRank canonical authority.
