Redirect Inspector

Redirect Inspector is a real-time redirect console designed for QA engineers, SEO specialists, and developers.

It captures the complete navigation flow while you browse — including server redirects and client-side redirects — and groups them into a clean, readable chain.

No manual URL testing required.

What it does

• Records every redirect as it happens
• Supports 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 status codes
• Detects JavaScript and meta-refresh redirects
• Shows HTTP-to-HTTPS upgrades as a distinct hop
• Groups chains by tab and browsing session
• Hides tracking pixels and analytics noise by default
• Works in a persistent side panel for continuous monitoring

Built-in local analysis

Automatic checks help you understand what is happening inside a redirect chain:

• Redirect loops
• Ping-pong patterns (www/non-www, http/https, slash variations)
• Long redirect chains
• Mixed permanent and temporary redirects
• Final 4xx/5xx errors
• Login and OAuth bounce patterns
• Locale and consent redirects
• Tracking parameter noise
• CDN intermediaries (Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, CloudFront)

Each issue includes a severity level (info, warning, error) and hop-level annotations.

You can copy a clean, redacted report for use in issue trackers or documentation.
