Redirect Checker

Follow redirect chains safely and report every hop, loop, final URL, and final HTTP status for up to 25 URLs.

Public URLs are fetched securely with strict crawl and rate limits. Reports are not saved to your WordPress database.
Follow each redirect and check where the request ends.

Redirect Checker

See where your redirected URLs actually lead

A redirected URL may pass through several destinations before it reaches a page. WebTrendSEO’s Redirect Checker follows that route and reports the initial status, redirect hops, final URL, and final HTTP response.

Paste up to 25 public URLs to spot unexpected chains or loops. Use the report to review your redirect rules, then check whether the final page is the right destination for the original link.

How to use the Redirect Checker

Enter a short list of public URLs, one per line. The checker follows their redirects and builds a report for each address.

Review your rules, then retest
WHY CHECK REDIRECTS?

Review the whole route, not just the final page

A redirect can send visitors to the correct page while still taking an unnecessary route. Checking each hop helps you see intermediary URLs, conflicting rules, and loops that a normal browser visit can hide.

The report describes the requests it observes. It cannot decide whether a destination matches the visitor’s intent, and it does not edit redirect rules. Review important results alongside your site configuration.

Safe & Secure

Public URLs are fetched server-side with strict crawl and rate limits. The tool states that reports are not saved to the WordPress database.

Use public page addresses and keep private links or access tokens out of your inputs. Unsafe redirect targets may be blocked rather than followed.
