Redirect Checker

A redirect chain occurs when a URL redirects to another URL, which then redirects again (A → B → C). Chains slow page loading and can cause search engines to drop link equity at each hop.

A 301 redirect is permanent and passes full link equity to the new URL. A 302 redirect is temporary and may not pass link equity. Use 301 for permanent URL changes.

Keep redirect chains to a single hop (A → B). Google follows up to 10 redirects but may not pass full link equity through long chains. Each redirect adds latency.
