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.
