Trace the full redirect path of any URL in one call — every hop, status code, and the final destination, with SEO/performance issues flagged. No API key, pay per URL.
▶ Live on the Apify Store: https://apify.com/eliai/redirect-chain-checker — run it instantly, or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.
What it does
- Follows redirects hop-by-hop (up to 15), recording each URL + status code + Location
- Reports the final URL and status, and the hop count
- Flags issues: redirect loops, long chains (>2 hops), insecure
http://in the chain, 302 used where 301 belongs
Input
{ "url": "http://example.com" }
or bulk:
{ "urls": ["http://a.com", "https://b.com"], "maxUrls": 25 }
Output (per URL)
{"url": "http://example.com","finalUrl": "https://example.com/","finalStatus": 200,"hops": 2,"redirectChain": [{ "url": "http://example.com", "status": 301, "location": "https://example.com" },{ "url": "https://example.com", "status": 200, "location": null }],"issues": [],"summary": "2 hop(s) -> 200, 0 issue(s)"}
Use cases
SEO audits, migration QA, and catching redirect loops/chains that hurt crawl budget and load time — by hand or wired into an agent. Pairs with our Broken Link Checker.
