Frequently Asked Questions

No — following a redirect requires an actual HTTP request, which a client-side browser tool can't make cross-origin. Use redirect-checker.org or httpstatus.io to see the live response chain.

301 is permanent and passes nearly all link equity to the destination; 302 is temporary and search engines may keep indexing the original URL instead.

That there's only one hop (not old→intermediate→final), that it uses 301 for permanent moves, and that the final destination returns a 200 status, not another redirect or an error.

Long redirect chains slow down crawling and can dilute the ranking signals passed to the final URL — Google recommends keeping chains as short as possible, ideally one hop.
