Enter any URL to trace its complete redirect chain. Every hop is shown with its status code and response time — so you can spot loops, unnecessary jumps, and HTTP leaks that quietly drain your PageRank.
PageRank dilution
Each redirect hop passes slightly less link equity — chains of 3+ hops measurably reduce authority passed to the final URL
Crawl budget waste
Googlebot has to spend crawl budget on every hop. Long chains on large sites slow down discovery of new pages
Redirect loops
A → B → A loops block Google entirely and return errors to users — this tool detects them instantly
HTTP to HTTPS leaks
A redirect starting on HTTP and ending on HTTPS is fine, but HTTP hops mid-chain expose mixed-content warnings
302 vs 301
302 (temporary) redirects don't reliably pass PageRank — use 301 for permanent moves
Response time per hop
Every hop adds latency. Users and Googlebot both experience the total chain time
Indexa tracks redirect health, crawl issues, and site structure automatically — and alerts you before problems affect rankings.
