Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about redirect checking and SEO best practices.

What is a 301 redirect and why is it important for SEO?

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that passes 90-100% of link equity (SEO value) to the redirected page. It tells search engines that a page has moved permanently to a new location. This is crucial during website migrations or URL structure changes to preserve SEO rankings.

What's the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?

301 is a permanent redirect that passes SEO value. 302 is a temporary redirect that doesn't pass SEO value. Use 301 when you've permanently moved content, and 302 for temporary situations like A/B testing or maintenance pages.

Can redirect chains harm my website's SEO?

Yes, long redirect chains (multiple redirects in sequence) can dilute link equity and slow down page loading. Search engines recommend keeping redirect chains as short as possible, ideally with just one redirect from old URL to final destination.

Does this tool detect JavaScript redirects?

Yes, our tool can detect common JavaScript redirect patterns like window.location changes, but note that some complex JavaScript redirects may require browser execution to be fully detected.

Is there a limit to how many URLs I can check?

No, our free redirect checker has no daily limits. You can check as many URLs as you need for your SEO audits, link management, or website migration projects.
