Trace all HTTP redirects and see the complete redirect chain
📚 About HTTP Redirects
HTTP redirects are used to send browsers and search engines from one URL to another. Understanding your redirect chain is important for SEO and user experience.
Common Redirect Status Codes
| Code | Name | SEO Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 301 | Moved Permanently | Passes ~90% of link equity |
| 302 | Found (Temporary) | Does not pass link equity |
| 307 | Temporary Redirect | Same method, temporary |
| 308 | Permanent Redirect | Same method, permanent |
Best Practices
- Keep redirect chains short (ideally 1-2 hops maximum)
- Use 301 for permanent redirects to preserve SEO value
- Always redirect HTTP to HTTPS
- Choose either www or non-www and redirect consistently
