❓ FAQ

Redirect questions answered

What is a redirect chain and why is it bad?+

A redirect chain happens when a URL redirects multiple times before reaching the final page. Each hop adds latency and passes less link equity (PageRank). Chains longer than 3 hops can hurt rankings and user experience significantly, especially on mobile.

Does the Redirect Checker follow JavaScript redirects?+

Yes, our tool detects meta refresh, JS-based window.location, and even client-side redirects. We simulate real browser behavior to give you the most accurate final URL, helping you uncover hidden redirects that other tools miss.

How many URLs can I check for free?+

Unlimited single checks and up to 500 URLs via bulk upload — completely free. No subscription required. The core redirect checker is part of our free SEO toolkit.

Can I detect temporary vs permanent redirects?+

Absolutely. The tool clearly distinguishes 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary), 307, 308, and meta refreshes. We also warn when a 302 is used on a page that should be a 301 for SEO.

Does SEOScaleUp offer an API?+

Yes, we have a developer-friendly API for redirect checking at scale. Contact us for free tier access up to 1000 calls/month, ideal for agencies and custom dashboards.

What is considered a redirect loop?+

A redirect loop occurs when a URL redirects to another that eventually redirects back to the original, creating an infinite cycle. This blocks crawlers completely. Our tool flags loops automatically and shows the problematic URLs.

How does redirect speed affect Core Web Vitals?+

Redirects increase server round trips, directly impacting LCP and FID. Even a single redirect adds 100–300ms; chains multiply delays. Fixing unnecessary redirects is a quick win for Core Web Vitals scores.

Do I need an account to use the Redirect Checker?+

No account, no signup, no email required. Just paste your URL and get instant redirect analysis. Privacy-first by design.
