Trace a public URL from its starting address to the final destination. This free redirect checker makes redirect chains visible so you can find unnecessary hops, outdated migrations and HTTP-to-HTTPS routing problems.
Free redirect checker to trace 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 URL redirects, show every hop and confirm the final HTTP status and destination.
Browsers hide most redirects because they automatically navigate to the destination. Toolmera records the starting URL, status code and Location header at each hop, then shows the final response separately.
That makes it easier to identify chains such as HTTP → www → non-www → new path, or an old campaign URL that still passes through multiple legacy destinations before reaching the current page.
301 and 308 are commonly used for permanent redirects, while 302 and 307 are commonly used for temporary routing. The methods differ in historical and method-preservation behavior, so the correct choice depends on the application rather than SEO shorthand alone.
For migrations, the most important practical checks are that the intended old URL redirects to the correct new URL, the chain is short and the final destination returns a successful response.
Every extra hop adds another request before users and crawlers reach the final page. Chains can also hide configuration mistakes, create inconsistent canonical paths and make large migrations harder to audit.
Use this checker after domain changes, URL restructuring, HTTPS migrations, trailing-slash changes and campaign cleanup. Then update internal links so they point directly to the final canonical URL where practical.
Use the old, campaign, HTTP or alternate URL whose redirect behavior you want to trace.
Review each 3xx response, Location destination and the final status.
Where practical, update redirects and internal links so they point directly to the intended final canonical URL.

Useful next steps in the same workflow.
The current checker caps redirect traversal at five hops to keep the public analyzer bounded and avoid runaway chains.
Yes. An HTTP-to-HTTPS transition appears as one of the recorded hops.
No single redirect code is universally better. Use a permanent redirect when the move is intended to be permanent and a temporary redirect for genuinely temporary routing.
Direct internal links reduce unnecessary requests and make the intended destination clearer for users and crawlers.
No. Every redirect destination is revalidated and private or reserved targets are blocked.
