Enter a URL, get its HTTP status code and the full redirect chain, hop by hop.
The check runs through this site's server (your browser can't read cross-origin statuses directly), so the target sees one request from Cloudflare's network. Internal/private addresses are blocked.
It requests your URL and reports the HTTP status code of every hop: each redirect (301, 302, 307, 308) with its target, and the final response (200 OK, 404 Not Found, 500 errors and so on), plus how many redirects were followed and how long the whole chain took.
Every extra redirect hop wastes crawl budget and dilutes link equity, and chains longer than 2-3 hops or redirect loops can stop search engines from reaching the destination at all. This tool makes the whole chain visible so you can flatten it.
Browsers hide cross-origin response details for security, so a purely client-side checker can't read another site's status codes. The check runs through this site's small proxy function; private and internal addresses are blocked, and response bodies are never downloaded.
The chain exceeded 10 hops, which almost always means a redirect loop (A redirects to B, B back to A). The tool shows the hops it followed so you can spot the loop.
