Bulk Redirect Checker

What it returns#

For each URL you enter, the tool returns:

• Initial status code — the response from the URL as entered
• Full redirect chain — every hop with its status code and destination URL
• Final destination URL and its status code
• Chain length — number of hops between source and destination
• Loop detection — flags circular redirect chains before they cause crawler issues

How to use it#

1. Paste up to 10 URLs, one per line
2. Click Check redirects
3. Review status codes and chains in the results table
4. Export as CSV for migration audits or client reports

Redirect chain problems that cost you rankings#

• Chains longer than 2 hops — each extra redirect loses link equity and slows page load
• 301 chains from HTTP → HTTPS → www → canonical — common after migrations and compounding over time
• 302 used where 301 is needed — temporary redirects don't pass full link equity
• Redirect loops — A redirects to B, B redirects to A — breaks crawling entirely

When to run it#

During a site migration to verify every old URL redirects correctly to its new destination. When auditing a client site that's had multiple migrations layered on top of each other. After noticing a traffic drop on a page that looks technically healthy — a redirect chain is often the invisible culprit.

Frequently asked questions#

Is this bulk redirect checker free?#

Yes, free and no signup. It checks the status code, redirect chain, and final destination for each URL.

How many URLs can I check at once?#

Up to 10 URLs per run. For larger migration lists, split them into batches and export each as CSV.

Why check redirects after a migration?#

Broken or wrong redirects lose the ranking signals from your old URLs, which is the most common cause of post-migration traffic drops.
