Effiqs

Redirect & HTTP Status Checker

Follow a URL's full redirect chain and see every HTTP status, so you catch the 302s, loops, and chains that leak SEO.

About this tool

What the Redirect & HTTP Status Checker does.

Enter a URL and Effiqs follows every hop, showing each status code (301, 302, 307, 308, 200, 404…) and the final destination. It flags the problems that quietly cost you: temporary redirects that should be permanent, long chains, loops, and mixed 301/302 hops.

Redirect chains dilute link equity and slow pages down. This shows the whole path at a glance so you can collapse it to a single clean hop.

What you enter

Any URL.

What you get

The full redirect chain with each status code, the final URL and status, and flags for chains, loops, and temporary redirects.

Best for

SEO and web teams auditing migrations, redirects, and link equity.

How it works

The methodology.

  • We request the URL without auto-following redirects, record each hop's status and Location header, then follow it, up to 10 hops.
  • The chain is checked for 302/307 temporaries, loops, mixed permanent/temporary hops, over-long chains, and http→https upgrades.

Redirect & HTTP Status Checker: common questions

Why does a 302 vs 301 matter for SEO?+

A 301 is permanent and passes ranking signals to the new URL; a 302 (or 307) is temporary and tells search engines to keep the old URL indexed. Using a 302 for a permanent move can strand your rankings on a page you've abandoned.
