What is a redirect chain?
A redirect chain occurs when one URL redirects to another, which then redirects to another, and so on. Long chains can slow down page loading and dilute SEO value.
What's the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
301 (Moved Permanently) is a permanent redirect that passes most SEO value to the new URL. 302 (Found) is temporary and doesn't pass full SEO value. Use 301 for permanent changes.
Why are redirect chains bad for SEO?
Each redirect adds latency, slowing page load. Search engines may not follow long chains, and some SEO value can be lost with each hop. Best practice is direct 301 redirects.
Can I check any URL?
Yes, you can check any publicly accessible URL. The tool will trace the complete redirect path from the starting URL to the final destination.
