Redirect Chain Tracer — Full Hop-by-Hop Path

Follow every URL through its full redirect chain and get each hop's status code, location and timing, plus the final destination. Essential for SEO migrations, link audits, tracking-link checks and spotting redirect loops or chains that leak crawl budget.

Redirect Chain Tracer input — configure the options in the Apify Console

What it does

Traces each URL hop by hop (301/302/307/308…) to its final URL.
Reports status, target and response time for every hop.
Flags redirect loops, chains that are too long, and the final HTTP status.

Use cases

SEO — audit redirects after a site migration; find chains and loops.
Marketing — verify short/tracking links land on the right page.
QA — confirm HTTPS and www/non-www redirects behave correctly.

Input

{ "urls": ["http://google.com", "https://bit.ly/example"], "maxHops": 15, "method": "GET" }

Field	Type	Description
`urls`	array	URLs to trace.
`maxHops`	integer	Stop after this many redirects (1–30).
`method`	string	`GET` or `HEAD`.
`userAgent`	string	Optional custom User-Agent.

Output

Redirect Chain Tracer output — the results as a clean dataset

{ "url": "http://google.com", "finalUrl": "https://www.google.com/", "hopCount": 2, "finalStatus": 200, "hops": [ { "url": "http://google.com", "status": 301, "location": "http://www.google.com/", "ms": 40 } ] }

Output schema

Field	Type	Description
`url`	string (URL)	The starting URL.
`finalUrl`	string (URL)	The final destination.
`hopCount`	integer	Number of redirects.
`finalStatus`	integer	Final HTTP status code.

FAQ

Does it detect loops? Yes — if the chain exceeds maxHops it's flagged rather than looping forever.

Can I automate it? Yes — via integrations on the Apify platform and the Apify API.

Notes

Original clean-room implementation.
