What is a Redirect Tracker?

HTTP redirects forward clients from one URL to another. Servers use redirect status codes: 301 (Moved Permanently), 302 (Found/Temporary), 307 (Temporary Redirect preserving method), 308 (Permanent Redirect preserving method), and Meta Refresh for HTML-based redirects. URLs often pass through multiple redirects — for example, a short link might redirect to a campaign URL, which redirects to the actual page with tracking parameters. Tracking the full redirect chain helps debug broken links, identify unnecessary redirect hops (which add latency), detect redirect loops, and verify that SEO link equity is being passed correctly through 301 redirects.

How to Use the Redirect Tracker Tool

1. Enter the URL you want to trace in the input field.
2. Optionally set a custom User-Agent string to simulate a specific browser or crawler.
3. Click 'Track Redirects' to follow the redirect chain.
4. Each hop shows the URL, HTTP status code, and response headers.
5. The final destination URL is highlighted at the end of the chain.

This redirect tracker follows the complete redirect chain for any URL, showing each hop's status code and destination. Uses a server-side proxy to follow redirects. Useful for SEO audits, debugging shortened URLs, verifying canonical redirects, and detecting redirect loops.
