Redirect Chain Tracer
Follow every hop in a redirect chain. Detects redirect loops and excess hops that hurt performance.
What is Redirect Chain Tracer?
Redirect chains slow page loads and dilute SEO signals. Every extra hop adds latency; chains longer than 3 hops are flagged by Google as crawl waste. This tool follows each redirect manually and shows every URL in the chain — useful for debugging migrations, tracking link shorteners, and identifying redirect loops.
