  • Server-side checking avoids browser caching for accurate results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?
A 301 redirect indicates that a page has permanently moved to a new location, passing SEO value (link equity) to the new URL. A 302 redirect indicates a temporary move and tells search engines not to update their indexes or pass link equity.
What is a redirect chain?
A redirect chain occurs when a URL redirects to another URL, which then redirects to another URL, and so on. Long redirect chains can slow down page loading times, waste crawl budget, and dilute SEO equity.
What is a redirect loop?
A redirect loop happens when URL A redirects to URL B, which in turn redirects back to URL A (or anywhere else in the chain). This results in an infinite loop that prevents the user and search engines from reaching a final page.
Is the redirect checker free to use?
Yes, the redirect checker is completely free with no sign-up required. You can trace redirect chains on any public URL without limits or hidden fees.
Does the redirect checker send my URL to a server?
Yes — the redirect check runs on the DevFlow side so it stays accurate. Because requests are made from the server, browser caching, plugins, and local redirect rules cannot distort the results, and each hop is fetched fresh with its real HTTP status code. The URLs you check are not stored or associated with your account.
