Complete Link Forensics
Most tools only show you the headers. We analyze the HTML body, JavaScript, and User-Agent behaviors to give you the full picture.
Global Edge Tracing
Trace your URL from 280+ locations. See if your Geo-Redirects are working correctly for users in London, Tokyo, or New York.
Device Simulation
Test how your links behave for iPhone users vs. Android users. Essential for debugging Deep Links and App Store redirects.
SEO Bot Analysis
Spoof your User-Agent as Googlebot or Bingbot to ensure your redirects aren't blocking crawlers or cloaking content.
Hidden Layer Detection
We parse the HTML to find client-side redirects like `<meta http-equiv='refresh'>` and JavaScript `window.location` that server logs miss.
Are You Leaking SEO Juice?
Every hop in a redirect chain causes a small loss in Link Equity. Using the wrong status code (302 instead of 301) cuts the connection entirely.
Redirect FAQs
Common questions from SEOs and Developers.
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
A 301 (Moved Permanently) passes 95-99% of SEO ranking power ('Link Juice') to the new URL. A 302 (Found/Temporary) passes 0%. For site migrations, always use 301.
Why check affiliate links?
Affiliate networks often route through multiple domains (trackers). This tool reveals the full path, helping you verify that your affiliate ID is preserved and no 'link hijacking' is occurring.
What is a 'Redirect Chain' and why fix it?
A chain is when A redirects to B, and B redirects to C. This dilutes SEO value and adds latency. Google recommends eliminating chains so A goes directly to C.
Can this detect 'Cloaking'?
Yes. By changing the 'User Agent' in our tool, you can see if a website serves different content/redirects to Googlebot compared to a normal browser.
