    Redirect Checker

    Trace the full redirect chain for any URL.

    What is a redirect chain?

    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.
