Redirect Inspector

About

Redirect Inspector — a real-time redirect console for QA, SEO, and developers.

Capture the full navigation story in real time: server and client redirects grouped into a clean chain. Optional local analysis detects loops, ping-pong patterns, and long chains — all processed locally, never leaving your browser.

⚡ Real-time redirect capture

Every redirect is recorded the moment it happens — no manual trigger required.

• Server redirects — 301, 302, 303, 307, 308
• Client-side redirects — JavaScript and meta-refresh
• HSTS upgrades — HTTP to HTTPS shown as a distinct hop
• Session grouping — chains grouped by tab, time, and domain
• Noise filtering — hide tracking pixels and analytics requests
• Persistent side panel — monitor redirects while you browse

🧠 Built-in local analysis

Nine automatic checks run on every chain you inspect:

• Redirect loops
• Ping-pong patterns (www/non-www, http/https, slash issues)
• Long chains (3+ info, 5+ warning, 8+ error)
• Mixed redirect types
• Final 4xx/5xx or network errors
• Auth bounces (OAuth/login/callback flows)
• Locale and consent redirects
• Tracking noise detection
• CDN intermediaries (CloudFront, Akamai, Fastly, Cloudflare)

Each check includes severity levels (info, warning, error), tag chips, and per-hop annotations. Copy the full report with one click.
