Review source URL, destination URL, HTTP status, and redirect type for every step.

Use warnings about multi-hop chains, temporary redirects, and loops to clean your setup.
Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions
How many redirect hops are followed?
The checker follows a limited number of hops and stops early if a loop is detected or the limit is reached.
Does it support private or local URLs?
No. Only public http/https URLs are allowed for security reasons.
What redirect status codes are reported?
Common 3xx responses such as 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 are labeled, and the final non-redirect status is included.
