HTTP Status & Redirect Checker
Paste up to 50 URLs. The checker follows every hop in each redirect chain, times it, watches for loops, and shows the DNS records behind the host.
URLs to Check
Reading the Results
- 200 The URL responds normally.
- 301 The URL redirects somewhere.
- 404 The URL is missing or unreachable.
- Open a row's Details to see every hop, timing, DNS, and any issues found.
Why Redirect Chains Quietly Cost You Rankings and Conversions
Every time a URL redirects, the visitor and the crawler spend a round trip before they reach the page. A single 301 is fine. A chain of four or five redirects starts to hurt, because each hop adds latency, and search engines may crawl and pass less equity through long chains. Loops are worse, sending bots around in circles until they give up and treat the URL as broken.
The usual cause is small changes made over time. A page moves, an old path gets rewritten, the site switches from http to https, and the redirects pile up in ways nobody notices until traffic drops. A bulk status check finds those chains before they compound.
DNS belongs in the same view
Status errors are often DNS problems in disguise. A slow or unresolved A record makes a page look down when the server is fine. Seeing the A, AAAA, and CNAME records beside the hop data lets you tell the difference between a bad config and a broken redirect in seconds.
How to Run a Redirect Chain Check in One Pass
Paste your URLs one per line, up to 50 at a time, and click Check All. Rows fill in as each check completes, with the first-hop status, hop count, total time, and an issue dot when something needs attention. The progress bar keeps large batches easy to follow, and you can stop a run at any point with Clear.
Open an individual row to see the full picture: each hop with its status and timing, the location URL it pointed to, the DNS records for the host, and flagged issues such as loops or four-plus hop chains. Fix obvious chains first, then re-check the same list after changes to confirm the routes are clean.
Make this a habit after every domain migration, protocol switch, or CMS update. A redirect audit that takes two minutes can prevent weeks of ranking loss.
