HTTP Redirect Status Checker

Validate 301, 302, 307, and 308 behavior before paid traffic hits your landing pages.

Not all redirects are equal. Paid traffic, SEO, and compliance teams need proof that every hop returns the correct HTTP status.

Use this page to log 301 vs 302 vs 307 vs 308 behavior, confirm TLS policies, and spot caching issues. For broader redirect QA you can always return to the Redirect Checker.

Validate HTTP status codes

Paste any redirecting URL to confirm the precise response type, headers, and caching rules before launch.

What does this tool do?

The HTTP Redirect Status Checker records the exact 301/302/307/308 responses plus headers, TLS, and latency for every hop.

Why use this tool?

Verify permanent vs temporary

Confirm each hop responds with the intended 301, 302, 307, or 308 before DNS changes or ad approvals.

Catch CDN or server drift

Headers reveal when SSL, cache, or host rules regressed after a deployment.

Share status evidence

Hand legal, compliance, or partners a clean log that proves how redirects behave today.

Verify HTTP status behavior

The HTTP Redirect Status Checker confirms the exact 301/302/307/308 responses every hop returns.

  • Capture the status, headers, and TLS notes for each redirect.
  • Spot HTTPS downgrades, caching issues, or missing HSTS policies.
  • Record latency so you can prove when a CDN or proxy adds delays.

Use it when

  • •

    Devops needs proof that new routing rules behave as expected.

  • •

    SEO teams must confirm permanent vs. temporary redirects before launch.

  • •

    Compliance or partner reviews require evidence of HTTP behavior.

Practical examples

Validate replatforming

Run the checker after moving to a new CMS to confirm every legacy URL now returns a permanent 301.

Catch CDN misconfigurations

Document when an edge cache responds with a 302 instead of the intended 200 or 301.

Prepare compliance packets

Attach the HTTP report to legal or partner reviews so they see every hop behaves correctly.
