Security tool
Follow and log every HTTP redirect from the initial URL to the final destination. Identify redirect loops, unnecessary hops, HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects, and potential security issues.
What it checks
Trace the full redirect chain from URL to final destination.
Review the browser-visible signals that affect user trust and SEO.
Find missing headers, expired certificates, insecure assets, or weak redirects.
Map each finding to server, CDN, or application-level follow-up.
Methodology

Interpretation
Use cases
Validate HTTPS, redirects, headers, and browser-facing security before launch.

Frequently asked questions
No. Enter a URL or domain and run the check in your browser. Some results can be partial if the target site blocks requests or hides the data being checked.
The Redirect Chain Tracer runs live checks against the target website. Results reflect what was reachable at the time of the test, so retest after changing DNS, redirects, headers, or page content.
Google recommends no more than 3 redirect hops. Each hop adds latency and dilutes link equity. Our tool warns when chains exceed 5 hops.
A 301 is meant for permanent moves, while a 302 is meant for temporary routing. Use the status code that matches the real URL intent so crawlers, caches, and users receive consistent signals.
