Redirect Checker

Trace exactly where a URL redirects. Domain Doctor follows every hop, checks HTTP→HTTPS and www canonicalisation, and flags loops and long chains.

Try , or your own domain.

What this checks

Redirects should be short and deliberate. Long chains slow your site and leak SEO value; loops break it entirely; and inconsistent www/HTTPS handling splits your ranking signals across duplicate URLs.

Domain Doctor follows your redirect chain hop by hop, showing each status code and destination. It confirms HTTP upgrades to HTTPS, that www and the apex settle on one canonical host, and that there are no loops.

Common Redirect Checker errors

  • HTTP not redirecting to HTTPS
  • www and apex both resolving without a canonical choice
  • Redirect chains of three or more hops
  • Redirect loops that never resolve
  • Using 302 (temporary) where 301 (permanent) is meant

Frequently asked questions

Do redirects hurt SEO?

Long chains and temporary (302) redirects where permanent (301) is intended can dilute ranking signals. Keep redirects to a single 301 hop to the canonical URL.

Should I redirect www to non-www or the other way?

Either is fine — what matters is picking one canonical host and 301-redirecting the other to it consistently.
