Complete Link Forensics
Most tools only show headers. We analyze HTML, JavaScript, and user-agent behavior to give you the full picture.
Global Edge Tracing
Trace your URL from globally distributed checkpoints and verify geo-redirect behavior for users in London, Tokyo, and New York.
Device Simulation
Test how your links behave for iPhone users versus Android users. Essential for debugging deep links and app store redirects.
SEO Bot Analysis
Spoof your user agent as Googlebot or Bingbot to ensure redirects are not blocking crawlers or cloaking content.
Hidden Layer Detection
We parse the HTML to find client-side redirects like meta refresh and JavaScript window.location changes that server logs miss.
Are You Leaking SEO Juice?
Every hop in a redirect chain causes a small loss in link equity. Using the wrong status code, for example 302 instead of 301, can break the signal entirely.
Redirect FAQs
Common questions from SEOs and developers.
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
A 301 passes most SEO ranking power to the new URL, while a 302 generally does not. For site migrations, 301 is usually the correct choice.
Why check affiliate links?
Affiliate networks often route through multiple tracking domains. This tool reveals the full path so you can verify your affiliate ID is preserved and no hijacking occurs.
What is a redirect chain and why fix it?
A chain is when A redirects to B and B redirects to C. This adds latency and weakens SEO signals. Ideally, A should go directly to C.
Can this detect cloaking?
Yes. By changing the user agent in our tool, you can see whether a site serves different redirects to Googlebot than it does to a normal browser.
