URL Redirect Resolver
URL Redirect Resolver
Trace the full redirect path of any URL—including HTTP status codes, redirect locations, and per-hop latency—so you know exactly where a link ends up. Ideal for debugging short links, tracking domains, and campaign destinations before you click. Fast, clear, and privacy-friendly.
See every hop a link takes before it reaches the final page.
Redirect Resolver
Trace every hop and inspect the final destination.How it works
The URL Redirect Resolver shows every step a link takes from start to final destination. See HTTP status codes, redirect locations, and timing info per hop, plus a clear final destination summary.
Use it to trace redirect chains server-side and verify final landing pages before launch.
What you can do with it
- Instantly debug tracking links and shorteners like bit.ly or t.co.
- Know exactly where a link goes before you click.
- Latency-aware trace for each hop and the total chain.
- Privacy-friendly: does not execute JS or load third-party cookies.
- Highlights slow hops, errors, and mixed protocols at a glance.
Common tasks
- Verify a shortened link ends where you expect.
- Find slow or broken hops in a chain.
- Document redirect paths for QA.
Quick steps
- Paste any URL and click Trace.
- Review each hop with status, latency, and destination.
- Copy the final destination when you need to share it.
Before you start
- Paste a URL and click Trace.
- Use examples to see common tracking chains.
What you get
- Full hop-by-hop redirect chain.
- Timing, status, and destination for each hop.
- Final destination summary with total latency.
- Exportable report for sharing or documentation.
Common pitfalls
- Private links may fail if they require login.
- Some sites block automated requests.
Tips for best results
- Include the full URL (with https://) for best results.
- If a fetch fails, confirm the endpoint is publicly reachable.
- Some hosts block automated requests; try a different URL if needed.
Accuracy & limitations
- Outputs are deterministic and based only on the input you provide.
- When official specs exist, the tool favors strict parsing over guesses.
- URL-based tools can vary by region, cache, or upstream availability.
- Always validate critical outputs in your production systems before launch.
Trust & quality
- Server-side fetches only the URL you provide.
- Latency and status are measured per hop for transparency.
Who it is for
- QA and support teams validating outputs before launch.
- Analysts and operators who need fast clarity on raw data.
- Engineers and technical writers documenting system behavior.
