Redirect checker
Follow a URL through every redirect to the final page: the status code, target and time of each hop, for the URL and the http, https, www and non-www versions of its domain.
Free and unlimited: does not use your weekly runsWhat the redirect checker finds
Redirect loops that never reach a page, chains of two or more redirects, a redirect from https back to http, a mix of permanent (301, 308) and temporary (302, 307) redirects, a chain that ends on an error, and a meta refresh on the final page.
With the versions option it also checks http and https, with and without www. All of them should end on one and the same URL; when they do not, search engines may see duplicates of your site.
301 or 302?
A 301 or 308 says the page moved for good: search engines move its ranking to the new URL. A 302 or 307 says the move is temporary, so the old URL stays the one that counts. Use a permanent redirect when you move a page or a site.
