Follows a URL's redirect chain one hop at a time and shows every step —
source, destination, and status code (301/302/303/307/308) — plus warnings for redirect
loops, excessive hop counts, and HTTP↔HTTPS scheme changes along the way. Useful for
debugging broken redirects, auditing an old domain's migration, or checking an affiliate/
tracking link before you click it. Requires a live network request, made
server-side. Nothing you inspect is logged or stored.
A note on scope
Follows up to 20 hops before giving up (most browsers stop around the same point). For
safety, every hop is re-validated — a redirect can't be used to smuggle a request to
localhost or a private/internal IP range after the first hop passed the check. For status
code/response header/security header details on the final destination, use the
HTTP Request/Response Inspector; for what each redirect
status code actually means, see the HTTP Status Code
Explorer.
