Redirect Checker
Enter a URL to trace its full redirect chain — every hop, status code, and the final destination.
What this checks
This tool follows real HTTP redirects from the URL you enter, one hop at a time, up to 10 hops, and detects a redirect loop if a URL is visited twice in the same chain. Each hop is re-validated against the same internal-network protections as every other IndexVexa tool that fetches a URL.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does this tool show?
- The full redirect chain hop by hop, including each status code and the final destination URL.
- Does it detect redirect loops?
- Yes, an infinite redirect loop is detected and flagged rather than followed forever.
- What's a good number of redirect hops?
- Fewer is generally better for speed — each extra hop adds latency, though there's no strict maximum that applies to every site.
