Redirect Checker
Follow HTTP and HTTPS redirects and see status codes plus Location headers. Free redirect checker for public URLs.
Checked from our server so Location headers can be followed. The URL is not stored for analytics.
How to use this redirect checker
Paste a public http(s) URL and click Check redirects. The request runs from our server so it can read Location headers that the browser would hide.
You get the status chain and the final URL. Private, local, and metadata addresses are blocked. We do not fetch or display page bodies, and we do not log the URL in analytics.
Example
A short link that 301s to https://toolixo.net will show hop 1 as 301 and hop 2 as 200 at the destination.

Frequently asked questions
Why is this not fully local?
Browsers follow redirects silently and CORS blocks most third-party fetches. A short server check is the only reliable way to show the chain.
Do you store the URL?
No. Analytics events do not include the URL. The check is not written to a database.
Why was a host blocked?
Localhost, private IPv4/IPv6, and link-local/metadata addresses are rejected so the checker cannot be used to probe internal networks.
How many hops?
Up to 10 requests. Loops and credential URLs are stopped. Timeouts are eight seconds per hop.
