Redirect Hop Chain

    Raw Trace JSON

    How to Use

    Enter any URL or shortened link (e.g., bit.ly, t.co, or http:// link). Choose a User-Agent if desired and click Trace Redirects to reveal every intermediate HTTP hop, status code, latency, and the final landing destination.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an HTTP redirect trace?

    An HTTP redirect trace tracks the entire series of HTTP request-response cycles from the initial URL through each 301, 302, 303, 307, or 308 redirect hop until the user reaches the final destination web page.

    How does URL unmasking work for shortened links?

    Shortened URLs (such as bit.ly, t.co, or tinyurl.com) work by issuing an HTTP 301 or 302 redirect with a Location header pointing to the actual target. Tracing follows this header without loading unsafe scripts or rendering the page, revealing the true underlying destination URL.

    What is the difference between HTTP 301 and HTTP 302 redirects?

    An HTTP 301 Moved Permanently status informs clients and search engines that the resource has permanently migrated to a new URL, transferring SEO link equity. An HTTP 302 Found status indicates a temporary move, meaning search engines retain the original URL in indexes.

    What are HTTP 307 and 308 redirects?

    HTTP 307 (Temporary Redirect) and HTTP 308 (Permanent Redirect) are modern HTTP/1.1 specifications ensuring that the request method (such as POST) is not changed to GET when following the redirect, unlike historical 301 and 302 implementations.

    What causes an infinite redirect loop (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)?

    A redirect loop happens when URL A redirects to URL B, which then redirects back to URL A (or through a cycle like A -> B -> C -> A). This tracer automatically detects loops, tracks visited endpoints, and halts execution safely to prevent browser freezes.

    Why are multi-hop redirect chains bad for SEO and page speed?

    Every redirect hop adds extra DNS lookups, TCP handshakes, and TLS negotiation round trips, increasing Time to First Byte (TTFB) and mobile latency. Search engines like Google may also drop crawling efficiency or refuse to follow chains exceeding 5 hops.

    Can redirects be used in malicious phishing or open-redirect attacks?

    Yes. Attackers frequently abuse open redirects and URL shorteners to disguise phishing, malware distribution, or affiliate fraud behind reputable hostnames. Tracing the chain allows security analysts to inspect intermediate hops and the true payload URL safely.

    Why do different User-Agents receive different redirect destinations?

    Many websites inspect the User-Agent header to redirect mobile browsers to dedicated mobile subdomains (e.g. m.example.com) or serve alternate content to search engine crawlers like Googlebot. Selecting a different User-Agent tests these variations.

    How does the tracer handle relative redirect URLs in Location headers?

    If a server responds with a relative path (e.g., Location: /login), the tracer dynamically resolves it against the current hop base origin (e.g., https://example.com/login) per RFC 3986 URL standards before issuing the next request.

    Is tracing URLs with this tool safe and private?

    Yes. Requests are performed in an isolated server environment with SSRF protections that block private and internal IP ranges. The remote webpage JavaScript and media are never executed, keeping your browser completely protected from malicious payloads.
