HTTP Redirects & Headers
Follows the full HTTP redirect chain for a URL and shows every hop with its status code and response headers. Quickly see where requests end up and catch redirect loops or mixed-content issues.
Frequently asked questions
- Why follow every redirect?
- One URL often redirects through 2–5 hops before landing on the final page. Each hop adds latency and can break SEO. This tool shows you the whole chain.
- What is a redirect loop?
- A redirect loop is A → B → A → B forever. Browsers give up after around 20 hops. Common causes: misconfigured HTTPS redirects, WWW vs non-WWW conflicts, or conflicting CDN rules.
- Does it handle POST requests?
- This tool uses GET only, which is what Google and social crawlers do. POST redirects behave differently and are rarely SEO-relevant.
