About this tool

Inspect redirect behavior before migrations and canonical cleanup so search engines and users reach the right final URL with the fewest hops possible.

  • Checks redirect hops one by one and shows the final resolved URL.
  • Flags temporary redirects, long chains, loops, and HTTPS to HTTP downgrades.
  • Helps review migrations, URL rewrites, and legacy redirect rules before release.

How to use Redirect Checker

Open the interactive panel above, enter your content, and review the output instantly. Utiloom keeps processing in the browser whenever possible so you can move faster without adding server complexity.

When this tool is useful

  • Check whether a migrated URL resolves cleanly to the final destination.
  • Audit redirect rules after HTTPS migrations, slug changes, or platform moves.
  • Spot redirect chains, loops, and temporary redirects before search engines reprocess a section.
  • QA campaign, navigation, and legacy URLs after a CMS or hosting migration.

Practical tips

  • Aim for one clean redirect hop when consolidating URLs.
  • Use permanent redirects for long-term URL moves and temporary redirects only when the destination is genuinely short-lived.
  • Check important landing pages and sitemap URLs after every routing or infrastructure change.
  • Look for HTTPS downgrades and accidental 302s because they often survive migrations unnoticed.

Frequently asked questions

Does this redirect checker show each hop in the chain?

Yes. It lists each response in order so you can see the original URL, intermediate redirects, and final destination.

Why are temporary redirects flagged?

Temporary redirects like 302 or 307 are often fine for short-term flows, but permanent SEO migrations usually work better with 301 or 308.
