Free Redirect Checker
Follow a public URL step by step without automatic redirect handling so you can inspect each status code, Location header, final URL, and HTTPS upgrade behavior.
Common use cases
- Verify HTTP-to-HTTPS and canonical hostname redirects after a launch or migration.
- Find long redirect chains that can slow users and search crawlers.
- Troubleshoot unexpected final URLs, loops, or cross-domain redirects.
Frequently asked questions
How many redirects are followed?
The redirect checker follows up to 10 redirects and reports when the chain reaches that limit.
Are redirected hosts validated?
Yes. Each redirected hostname is validated before NerdTools fetches the next hop so checks stay limited to public hosts.
