Why check URL redirects?
Redirect chains can hurt your SEO performance and slow down your page load times. This tool helps you identify how many "hops" a URL takes before reaching its final destination. Ideally, you want to minimize redirects and avoid redirect loops.
Types of Redirects
- 301 Moved Permanently: The best method for SEO when permanently moving a page. It passes link equity to the new URL.
- 302 Found: A temporary redirect. Search engines won't update their indexes with the new URL.
- 307 Temporary Redirect: Similar to a 302, but guarantees that the HTTP method (e.g., POST) will not change when the redirect is followed.
- 308 Permanent Redirect: Similar to a 301, but guarantees that the HTTP method will not change.
