How Our Redirect Checker Analyzes Your URLs

Here's a breakdown of what happens when a user submits different versions of a domain name:

example.com: The tool typically checks the bare domain first, revealing any redirects in place at the root level. Often, this will redirect to the www version or the https version. This allows the user to identify the first redirect encountered and its configuration. The configuration can be 301, 302, etc.

www.example.com: This checks the www subdomain. Redirects from here might point to the HTTPS version or a specific page on the site.

http://example.com: This explicitly checks the HTTP non-secure version. It will often redirect to the HTTPS version for security. Analyzing this helps confirm the proper implementation of HTTPS redirects.

https://www.example.com: This directly checks the secure version of the site. If there are no further redirects, this should return a 200 OK status code.

Detail URL Health Score Report

Our tool generates a Health Score for each redirect you check. This score, between 0 and 100, is designed to provide a clear and concise evaluation of your URL's health and security. A higher score is an indicator of strong performance, translating to better visibility on search engines, faster load times, and a superior user experience!" The score can be depend on the website secure.

HTTPS

Measures if your site uses a secure HTTPS connection. HTTPS encrypts data transmitted between the user's browser and your server, protecting sensitive information.

Redirect Chain

Checks for too many or unnecessary redirects. Long redirect chains slow down page load times and can confuse search engines, impacting SEO.

Response Time

Measures how quickly your site responds after a URL redirection. Fast response times are crucial for a positive user experience.

Security Headers

Assesses if key security headers like HSTS or CSP are present. Security headers provide an extra layer of protection against common web liabilities.

Status Codes

Verifies that your status codes 301, 302, etc. are correct and working, guiding browsers and search engines to handle requests correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our tool

Q. What is a URL Redirect Checker, anyway?

Think of our Redirect Checker as your URL's personal detective. It traces the complete path a website visitor takes when they click on a link.

It's invaluable for finding problems and ensuring smooth user experience.

Q. How can a Redirect Checker actually help my SEO?

Redirects are a huge deal for SEO. Long redirect chains slow page speed, which Google hates. A Redirect Checker helps you identify those chains, as well as broken redirects leading to dead pages. Correcting these issues can give your SEO a noticeable boost. Proper redirect implementation (like using 301s correctly) tells search engines where your content moved to, preserving your hard-earned SEO value.

Great question! A 301 Moved Permanently redirect tells search engines that content has permanently moved to a new URL. This passes the SEO value from the old page to the new one. A 302 Found redirect, on the other hand, tells search engines it's a temporary move. This means the SEO value doesn't usually transfer. Using the wrong redirect type can significantly impact rankings. Our tool makes it easy to check you're using the right one for each redirection web address.

Q. How many types of redirects ARE there, anyway?

HTTP 301 and 302 redirects are the most common, but there are actually several others. JavaScript -based redirects can be used on web pages for redirection, which could cause a slow.

This makes the URL's health a guide that can boost your visibility and make secure browsing experience.

Q. How do I fix a situation when there appear too many redirects?

Too many redirects means that the visitor has taken a long route to get to their destination because of multiple or unorganized redirection. To fix this, first you need to identify those chains using our tool. Then, simplify it. The main goal is to have minimum steps to do so, so users will land the right designation.

Q. Can this Redirect Checker expose if has malicious URL?
