Reference

Common redirect types

Each hop in a chain carries its own status code. These are the ones you will see most.

301

Permanent

Tells search engines the page has moved for good. Passes most SEO value to the new URL.

302

Temporary

A temporary move. Search engines keep indexing the original URL.

307

Temporary

Like 302, but keeps the HTTP method: GET stays GET, POST stays POST.

meta

Meta refresh

An HTML redirect run in the browser. Often seen on outdated or phishing pages.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a redirect chain?
A redirect chain happens when a URL redirects to another URL, which then redirects to another, creating a sequence of redirects. Long chains can slow down page loading and dilute SEO value.
Why does my redirect show multiple status codes?
Each hop in a redirect chain has its own HTTP status code. For example, a URL might return 301 → 302 → 200. Each redirect adds latency, so keep the number of hops low.
Can I check redirects for free?
Yes. The redirect checker is free and needs no sign-up. Paste your URL and check.
How many redirects can I check per day?
There is no daily limit. Check as many URLs as you need, whenever you need.
