Link Redirect Trace
A guide to reading a multi-hop redirect chain and spotting problems in it, with a link to a live hop-by-hop tracer, since following each redirect requires server-side HTTP requests this browser tool can't make.
- 1Copy the link you want to trace
- 2Paste it above for reference
- 3Run it through redirect-checker.org or httpstatus.io to see every hop and its status code
- 4Shorten chains longer than 2-3 hops by pointing the first redirect straight to the final URL
