Tip: After a migration, check a sample of old URLs — each should reach its new page in one 301 hop.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a 301 and a 302 redirect?
A 301 (or 308) is permanent: search engines move the old URL’s rankings to the new one. A 302 (or 307) is temporary: the old URL stays indexed. Use 301 for moved pages, domain moves and HTTP to HTTPS.
Why are redirect chains bad?
Each extra hop slows the page down and can lose crawl budget. Point old URLs straight to the final address.
Why check as Googlebot?
Some sites redirect search engines or mobile users differently. Checking with different user agents shows what each one gets.
Can I check many URLs?
Yes — paste up to 100 URLs, one per line, to get a table with each chain and final status, and download it as CSV.
How are the URLs checked?
Our server requests each URL and follows the redirects for you, because browsers hide redirect details. Results aren't saved.
