About this tool

Redirect Checker follows a URL through its redirect chain and shows each hop until the final destination. Use it to confirm where a URL actually lands before publishing or changing links.

What it shows

The tool lists each redirect hop in order and highlights the final destination. Test the exact URL you plan to use, including the correct protocol.

info

Gotchas

A correct final URL can still hide a poor redirect setup. Long chains, protocol flips, and hostname changes can slow requests or expose configuration issues.
