Trace redirect chains

See how a URL hops across 301, 302, or meta refreshes. SEO and debugging searches use “redirect checker” or “follow redirects”—explain client vs server behavior so the page is not thin boilerplate.

How Follow Redirect URL Works

Paste or enter your input in the field above. Most tools update in real time. Click the Copy button to copy the output. All processing happens in your browser—your data never leaves your device unless the tool explicitly uses a server feature (such as URL shortening or bcrypt hashing).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see fewer hops than curl?
Browser and server policies differ: some chains require cookies, POST bodies, or geographic routing. Compare with curl -IL when isolating backend behavior.
Can I use this on arbitrary sites?
Only test URLs you are allowed to probe. Aggressive automated following may violate terms of service or trigger blocking.
