Frequently Asked Questions
What is a redirect chain and why is it bad for SEO?+
A redirect chain occurs when URL A redirects to URL B, which then redirects to URL C. This increases page load latency and dilutes link equity passed by search engines.
What is the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?+
A 301 is a permanent redirect that passes SEO ranking signals to the new URL. A 302 is a temporary redirect that signals to search engines that the original URL will return.
Can this tool detect redirect loops?+
Yes, it tracks every step in the chain and warns you if a URL enters an infinite loop.
