The All Free Tool's Redirect Checker helps you inspect what happens when a browser or crawler requests a URL that redirects to another location.

Redirect checking is especially useful when maintaining websites, changing URLs, moving domains, fixing broken links, or reviewing SEO-related technical issues.
About the Redirect Checker
What Is a URL Redirect?
A URL redirect sends visitors and web requests from one URL to another. Redirects are commonly used when pages move, URLs change, domains are migrated, or old addresses need to point to new destinations.
Common Redirect Types
Common HTTP redirects include 301 and 302 responses, along with other redirect-related status codes. The appropriate type depends on why the redirect exists and whether the move is temporary or permanent.
Why Check Redirects?
Checking redirects can reveal unnecessary redirect chains, incorrect destinations, unexpected loops, or redirects that are not behaving as intended.

Enter the URL you want to inspect and start the check. The tool follows the available redirect path and displays the redirect information and final destination when supported.

Redirect checks can be valuable during website migrations, URL restructuring, SEO audits, domain changes, and technical troubleshooting.
