Redirect Chain Audit

Follow every redirect hop for a list of URLs and report what SEO tools miss: multi-hop chains, loops, HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades, temporary redirects where permanent ones belong, and chains ending in errors. Each URL gets its full observed chain. Charged only on completed audits.

Every hop, observed — not just the destination. Feed it a list of URLs and get each redirect chain traced hop by hop: multi-hop chains that leak link equity and crawl budget, loops, HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades, temporary redirects (302/303/307) doing a permanent redirect's job, and chains that dead-end in errors.

Output

Summary plus one row per URL:

{
"start_url": "http://old-domain.com/page",
"final_url": "https://new-domain.com/page/",
"final_status": 200,
"hop_count": 3,
"chain": ["301 http://old-domain.com/page", "301 https://old-domain.com/page", "302 https://new-domain.com/page", "200 https://new-domain.com/page/"],
"issues": ["chain of 3 redirects (link equity and crawl budget leak; collapse to one hop)", "1 temporary redirect(s) (302/303/307) where a permanent 301/308 is usually meant"]
}

Use cases

  • Migration cleanup: old-URL lists after a redesign or domain move; collapse every chain to one hop.
  • Backlink triage: trace your most-linked URLs; every extra hop dilutes what those links pass.
  • Agents doing SEO maintenance: pipe issues rows straight into a fix workflow.

Honesty notes

  • Redirects are followed manually (never trusted to a client library), max 10 hops, up to 100 URLs per run.
  • One polite GET per hop; nothing else is touched.
  • If none of the input URLs are reachable, the run says so and you are not charged; billing is per completed audit.
