Redirect Chain Checker

Analyze how many redirects occur before reaching your final destination. Avoid "Redirect Chains" that slow down your site and waste crawl budget.

Why this matters

Each redirect adds latency to the page load. Google recommends no more than 1 redirect for a single resource. Chains of 3 or more can significantly hurt user experience and SEO.

Impact of Redirect Chains on SEO

Crawl Budget Efficiency

Search engine crawlers may stop following redirects if the chain is too long, leaving your final page unindexed.

Page Load Speed

Every hop requires a new HTTP request, increasing the Time to First Byte (TTFB) and overall load time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a redirect chain?

A redirect chain occurs when there is more than one redirect between the initial URL and the destination URL (e.g., Page A > Page B > Page C).

What is a redirect loop?

A redirect loop happens when a URL redirects to another URL which eventually redirects back to the first URL, causing an infinite cycle.
