RedirectCheck — URL & Website Redirect Checker 301 Chain Trace Status Code
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Trace redirect chains in real time. Check 301/302 status codes, view response headers, detect loops & HSTS. Bulk URL tester for SEO.
Are your redirects silently breaking SEO rankings or slowing down user experience? RedirectCheck gives you a clear, real-time view of every redirect chain happening in your browser. Redirect trace, HTTP status inspection, and response header analysis — all from a convenient side panel.
WHAT REDIRECTCHECK ANALYZES
RedirectCheck monitors your browsing in real time and captures every hop as it happens:
- Full redirect chain visualization with 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 HTTP status codes
- Client-side redirects: JavaScript redirects, meta refresh tags, and HSTS upgrades
- HTTP header inspection for every hop — caching, server type, X-Redirect-By, and more
- Cross-domain and protocol change detection (HTTP to HTTPS transitions)
- Redirect loop detection with automatic alerts
- Timing data for each hop — measure latency and total chain duration
- SEO insights: canonical URL mismatches, noindex detection, robots directives
- Permanent redirect vs 302 redirect classification for link equity analysis
WHO IS REDIRECTCHECK FOR
Whether you manage a single website or audit dozens of domains, RedirectCheck fits your workflow:
- SEO specialists — use it as a redirect tracker after site migrations to verify every chain
- Web developers — debug routing rules, rewrites, and URL patterns on staging and production
- Digital marketers — verify campaign links, tracking URLs, and landing page paths
- Technical auditors — run a 301 redirect checker for domain consolidation projects
- QA engineers — redirect tester for staging environments before go-live
- Webmasters — monitor HSTS preloading and protocol upgrades across your domains
- Affiliate managers — validate partner link paths and hop counts
HOW IT WORKS
1. Install and open the side panel — RedirectCheck starts tracking automatically
2. Browse normally — every redirect chain is captured and displayed in real time
3. View detailed hop information: URL, status code, response headers, and timing
4. Check redirect for any URL — enter it manually to redirect trace its path without visiting the page
5. Use bulk redirect checker to validate many URLs at once with configurable concurrency

WHAT MAKES REDIRECTCHECK DIFFERENT
Unlike simple redirect checkers that only redirect test one URL at a time, RedirectCheck works passively in the background. It catches every chain as you browse — including JavaScript and meta refresh redirects that many other tools miss.
Instead of raw technical output, you get structured chain visualization with SEO-relevant insights: where permanent redirects and temporary redirects occur, where cross-domain hops happen, and whether canonical URLs align with the target.
The bulk checking feature lets you validate hundreds of URLs simultaneously — essential during site migrations, campaign launches, or routine SEO audits. Where does this link go? RedirectCheck answers that instantly.
HOW TO USE REDIRECTCHECK
Open the Chrome side panel to see redirect chains for any page you visit. Click on any hop to view full response headers. Use the manual tab to redirect test specific URLs, or switch to bulk mode for large-scale validation. Review past results in the history tab, and export data in the format your team needs.
RedirectCheck runs entirely in your browser. No external API calls, no data collection, no account required. Your browsing data stays private.
