Redirect Checker

About

🔗 Redirect Checker — See where every URL really goes.

Ever clicked a shortened link and wondered where it actually leads? Or debugged a 301 chain that's quietly killing your SEO? Redirect Checker traces the entire redirect path of any URL in seconds — right from your browser toolbar.

✨ What you get:

🪜 Full hop-by-hop chain — every URL the request passes through, in order
🚦 Status codes for each hop — 301, 302, 303, 307, 308 + final response
⏱️ Per-hop timing — spot the slow link in the chain
🏷️ Redirect type labels — Permanent, Temporary, See Other, Found
🖥️ Origin server detection — see what's actually serving each response
🔒 HTTPS chain check — catch insecure hops that break trust
📊 Clean summary card — total redirects, total time, final status at a glance
🎯 Built for:

🧑‍💻 Developers debugging redirects, proxies & CDN setups
📈 SEO specialists auditing redirect chains and link equity loss
🛡️ Security-conscious users inspecting suspicious links before clicking
📣 Marketers verifying tracking links, UTM redirects & shortener destinations
🛡️ Privacy-first:

🚫 No analytics, no tracking, no account required
🧠 Runs 100% locally — your URLs never leave your browser
📭 No data collection, ever

⚙️ Why the permissions?

webRequest & <all_urls> are required to observe redirects as they happen — that's the only way Chrome lets an extension see the full chain. Nothing is logged or sent anywhere. 🔐
Lightweight. ⚡ Focused. 🎯 No bloat. 🪶
