RedirectFlow - SEO Redirect Checker

About

RedirectFlow is a lightweight SEO redirect checker and HTTP header analyzer that reveals every redirect your browser makes — server-side (301, 302, 307, 308), client-side (JavaScript, meta-refresh), and SPA navigations — so you can audit redirect chains, detect SEO issues, and inspect HTTP response headers in real time.

KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Redirect chain visualization — see every hop from original URL to final destination with color-coded HTTP status badges
• HTTP status code checker for 301 (Moved Permanently), 302 (Found), 303, 307 (Temporary Redirect), 308 (Permanent Redirect)
• Timing per hop — measure redirect latency in milliseconds for each step in the chain
• Client-side redirect detection — catches meta-refresh tags, window.location assignments, and JavaScript redirects
• SEO header inspector — extracts x-robots-tag, canonical URL, cache-control, CSP, HSTS, x-frame-options, and more
• Canonical URL comparison — alerts when rel=canonical differs from the final URL
• Robots.txt checker — verifies if the final page is blocked by Disallow rules
• Noindex detection — flags x-robots-tag and meta robots noindex directives
• SEO warning system — alerts on chains over 3 hops, 302 where 301 is appropriate, HTTP (non-HTTPS) redirects, mixed server/client redirects, and potential redirect loops
• History panel — last 20 redirect chains saved locally for side-by-side comparison
• One-click clipboard export — copy the full redirect chain report for SEO audits, tickets, or documentation

PRIVACY FIRST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

All redirect data stays on your device in chrome.storage.local. No analytics, no tracking, no external servers. RedirectFlow reads only HTTP response headers from the main document — it does not collect your browsing history.
