    Redirect Chain Checker

    Trace every hop of a redirect — and see whether AI crawlers get a different destination.

    Free. No account needed. We analyze the page you enter and show only what we actually measured.

    What this tool traces

    Enter any URL and see the full redirect chain hop by hop — every intermediate URL and status code, up to 10 hops, with loop detection. Long chains waste crawl budget and dilute signals; chains over 3 hops get flagged.

    The twist: we run the same chain three times — as a regular browser, as GPTBot, and as ClaudeBot — and compare the final destinations. Sites sometimes serve AI crawlers different redirects (or blocks) without knowing it, which silently changes what AI engines index.

    Every result is a real measurement from live requests made at the moment you run the check. Nothing is estimated.
