About this tool

Redirect Diff Checker compares two redirect chains side by side. Use it when a source URL, staging URL, or migration candidate needs to be checked against another redirect path.

Options and outputs

Enter two public URLs. The optional Accept-Language value can be changed when redirects vary by locale.

The output includes hop-by-hop differences, final URL summaries, response statuses, and a copy-ready normalized diff.

info

Gotchas

Use public URLs that the server can fetch. Always check the final hop and status code, not only the first redirect.
