Permanent move
Appropriate when a URL has moved for good. Prefer one direct hop to the final destination. 308 behaves the same way.
Redirect checker
Trace where each URL ends up. See every status code, redirect hop and final destination in one clear table.
Trace redirectsUp to 10 URLs per check
Every status code tells a different story.
The code, final destination and number of hops determine whether a redirect needs attention.
Temporary move
Useful for a genuinely temporary change. Review it when the move is permanent. 307 is the strict equivalent.
Failed destination
The chain ends on a missing or broken page (4xx or 5xx) and needs a valid replacement.
A redirect can work and still need fixing.
The browser may reach the page while every visitor and crawler takes avoidable extra steps.
Multiple hops
If A redirects to B and B redirects to C, update the first rule so A goes directly to C.
HTTP in the chain
Send requests directly to the final secure URL instead of bouncing between protocols and hostnames.
Redirect loops
Two or more conflicting rules can return the request to a URL already visited. The checker stops after 8 hops and reports the loop.
