IPIP Redirect Checker
Paste any HTTP or HTTPS URL and we'll follow standard server redirects—step by step—up to ten hops, then show the final URL and status. Handy for SEO audits, shortened links, and debugging redirect loops.
Hero, guides, and sidebar links below work without JavaScript. The interactive checker needs JavaScript enabled in your browser.
What Is a Redirect Chain?
When you open a URL, the server can answer with a 3xx status and a Location header telling the client to try another URL. That can repeat several times (HTTP → HTTPS, www → apex, marketing short links, CDN edges) until you get a final non-redirect response (often 200). This tool runs those hops from our server—up to 10 steps—so you can verify SEO canonical behavior, fix broken chains, or see where a short link lands.
Seeing every hop helps debug "too many redirects" loops and mixed HTTP/HTTPS steps
This tool vs HTTP response test
| Tool | Behavior | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Redirect checker (here) | Follows Location headers until a non-redirect or limit | You need the full chain and final URL |
| HTTP Response Test | Stops at the first response (redirect: manual) | You want headers/status on the very first answer only |
| Website Reachability | HEAD request, up/down style signal | Quick alive check, not redirect forensics |
Client-side redirects (JavaScript, meta refresh) won't appear here—only real HTTP 3xx responses from the server.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the IP redirect checker show?
Each HTTP step in a redirect chain: the URL we requested, the status code (301, 302, etc.), and the final URL after following Location headers—up to 10 hops.
How is this different from the HTTP Response Test?
HTTP Response Test shows only the first response (redirect: manual). This tool follows HTTP redirects automatically so you see the full chain and landing URL.
Does it follow JavaScript or meta refresh redirects?
No. Only standard HTTP redirects sent by the server (3xx with a Location header). Client-side redirects need a real browser.
Is there a hop limit?
Yes. We stop after 10 redirects to avoid loops. If you hit the limit, the last step in the list is where the chain stopped.
Is this tool free?
Yes. No signup—we fetch from our server and show the results here.
