Trace the full redirect chain for any URL.
No credit card required · Free forever plan
A redirect chain occurs when a URL forwards to another URL, which forwards again — sometimes through several hops before the final destination is reached.
Long chains hurt SEO, slow page loads, and can leak referrer or campaign data along the way.
Every hop costs time and can strip tracking. The redirect audit guide explains 301, 302, 307 and 308 and gives a monthly checklist, the Open Graph preview checker shows what a scraper sees at the end of the chain, and the link trust score flags destinations that are unsafe. Redirect chain and redirect loop are defined in the glossary; the link shortener page explains how LinkPilot's own redirect works.
How teams put the Redirect Checker to work.
Find chained or looping redirects that waste crawl budget and dilute link equity.
Confirm that tracking parameters survive every hop to the merchant.
Catch links that ultimately resolve to 404s or unexpected destinations.
