Frequently Asked Questions

What is a redirect checker tool?

A redirect checker is an online tool that analyzes a URL to determine if it redirects to another location. It shows the complete path of redirections along with HTTP status codes for each step.

Why are redirects important for SEO?

Proper redirects (especially 301 permanent redirects) preserve SEO value when pages are moved or deleted. They pass link equity to the new location and prevent visitors from encountering 404 errors.

What's the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?

A 301 redirect indicates a permanent move, telling search engines to transfer SEO value to the new URL. A 302 redirect is temporary and doesn't pass full SEO value. Our tool helps identify which type is being used.
