Bulk URL Status Code & Redirect Chain Checker

Check thousands of URLs: HTTP status codes, full redirect chains (301/302/307/308), loops, final URL, canonical, noindex and response time. Essential for SEO migrations, broken link and backlink audits.

What does it do?

Check the HTTP status code and full redirect chain of thousands of URLs. For each URL you get every hop (301, 302, 303, 307, 308) with status, location and timing, the final URL and status, redirect loops, chain length, HTTP→HTTPS and host changes, canonical (and whether it matches), meta robots / X-Robots-Tag noindex, title, last-modified and total response time – plus an issues list (REDIRECT_CHAIN, TEMPORARY_REDIRECT, BROKEN_URL, NOINDEX, CANONICAL_MISMATCH…).

Why use it?

• SEO site migrations: verify every old URL 301-redirects to the right new URL.
• Backlink and broken-link audits: find dead links (404/410) and chains that leak link equity.
• Affiliate & ad link checks: confirm tracking links resolve correctly.
• Uptime-style checks for lists of landing pages.

FAQ

Why GET and not HEAD?

Many servers answer HEAD incorrectly. GET with manual redirect handling gives accurate results; bodies are only read when SEO checks are on.

Can I pay only for problems?

Yes – enable “Only return problems” and healthy URLs are not saved or charged.
