Redirect Checker
Professional Redirect Checker
Follows HTTP redirects and shows the redirect chain. Note: CORS restrictions may limit details for cross-origin URLs.
Redirect Checker
Professional Redirect Checker
Features
- Check whether a URL responds and (if it redirects) what the final destination is
- Uses fetch() with redirect: follow — the browser auto-follows; the tool reports the final URL after the chain resolves
- Cross-origin URLs run in no-cors mode: the tool can confirm "the request went through" but cannot read intermediate response headers or HTTP status codes
- Useful for sanity-checking your own redirect rules and verifying that a link still reaches its target
- Server-side audit tools give full chain visibility; this is a quick in-browser smoke check
How to use

Tips & Best Practices
- Each check sends an HTTPS request to the target URL — the URL and your IP are visible to that server. This is NOT a "100% private offline" tool.
- For cross-origin URLs, browser CORS hides the redirect chain (intermediate hops and status codes). The tool can only see "reached" vs "blocked".
- For same-origin URLs (your own site), the browser exposes the final URL after auto-follow.
- Use a server-side tool (curl -L -I, httptest, etc.) for production redirect audits where you need the full chain and status codes.
- Browser fetch follows up to 20 redirects by spec; a runaway loop will surface as a network error.
