    Why Redirect Checking Matters for SEO

    Redirects affect ranking.

    If they break, you lose:

    ⬇ link juice⬇ authority⬇ organic traffic

    Google treats 301 vs 302 differently:

    • 301 = permanent → passes link power
    • 302 = temporary → weaker SEO transfer

    Our tool helps ensure your redirects help, not hurt, SEO.

    Use Cases

    🟩 1. Check domain migration success

    After moving to new domain → verify all old URLs redirect correctly.

    🟩 2. Expired domain rebuild

    Point old backlinks to restored pages safely.

    🟩 3. Fix broken redirect chains

    Long redirect chains slow crawling. Optimize for 1–2 hops.

    🟩 4. Validate Wayback restore

    Make sure old URLs point to restored paths.

    🟩 5. Affiliate link tracking

    See if link cloaks/redirects too much.

    🟩 6. Detect 404/410 issues

    No index if redirect breaks → fix fast.

    • Loop redirect → fix rules in .htaccess / Nginx config
    • Too many hops → shorten chain
    • 302 used instead of 301 → switch to permanent
    • 404 final destination → recreate page or redirect elsewhere
