What the Redirect Checker Analyzes

Comprehensive evaluation of HTTP headers, canonical status codes, and browser DOM scripts.

301 vs 302 Status Codes

Identifies whether a redirect is permanent (301/308) or temporary (302/307). Permanent redirects transfer ranking signals, while temporary redirects instruct crawlers to retain the original URL in Google index.

Client JS Redirect Execution

Drives headless Chrome to trigger JavaScript location changes (`window.location.href`) and meta refresh tags that non-browser HTTP clients completely miss.

Response Header Inspection

Extracts HTTP response headers including `Location`, `Server`, `Cache-Control`, `X-Redirect-By`, and security policies across every hop in the chain.

Search Engine Cloaking Verification

Allows testing as Googlebot or Bingbot to detect sneaky redirects that send human visitors to different destinations than search engine crawlers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Redirect Checker FAQs

A redirect checker is an online SEO diagnostic tool that follows a URL from its initial request to its final destination. It records all HTTP status codes (such as 301, 302, 307, 308) and measures latency along the path.
