Keep Your Links Healthy
Broken links and excessive redirects are the silent killers of user experience and SEO. The URL Redirect Checker helps you visualize the exact path a user takes when they click a link, ensuring they end up where they should without unnecessary delays.
Why Redirects Matter for SEO
Search engines like Google assign value (PageRank) to URLs. When you use a 301 Permanent Redirect, most of that value is passed to the new URL. However, a 302 Temporary Redirect might not pass that value. redirect chains dilute this value and burn through your crawl budget.
Common Status Codes Explained
- 200 OK:Success! The page loaded normally.
- 301 Moved Permanently:The preferred method for permanent URL changes. Passes SEO equity.
- 302 Found:A temporary redirect. Use this only when the move is short-term.
- 404 Not Found:The page doesn't exist. Fix these immediately to avoid losing users.
- 500 Server Error:Something went wrong on the server side.
