About this tool
Check where a URL redirects — every hop, status code, response time, and headers.
A URL redirect checker shows what really happens when a link is requested. Paste a shortened, affiliate, tracking or owned URL and this tool sends it to its external redirect-tracing service, which follows the link server-side so your browser does not open the target. You get every hop in order with its HTTP status code (301, 302, 303, 307, 308), how long that hop took, and its response headers on demand, plus the final destination URL. Nothing to install or sign up for, and the finished chain exports as JSON or CSV. This tool is independent and not affiliated with wheregoes.com.
Open URL Redirect Checker on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Paste the URL you want to check into the box.
Run the trace — every redirect hop is followed for you, server-side.
Read the chain: final destination, status code, response time and headers for each hop.
Every hop the link passes through, in order, with the HTTP status code (301, 302, 303, 307, 308) returned at each one.
Expand a row in the redirect table to read the response headers that hop returned — useful for caching, tracking and redirect debugging.
The response time of every hop, and the total, so you can see which redirect in the chain is the slow one.
Open the page, paste a link, read the chain — no account and no browser extension. The finished trace exports as JSON or CSV.
Paste the URL into the box and run the trace. The redirect chain comes back as a list: every hop from the link you pasted to its final destination, each with its HTTP status code, its response time, and its response headers on demand.
The URL you submit is sent to this tool's external redirect-tracing service. That service follows the redirects server-side, so your browser does not open the target and you can review the destination first. Do not submit private links or URLs containing secrets.
A 301 signals a permanent move, while a 302 signals a temporary redirect. Search engines also consider canonicals, links and other signals, so the status code alone does not guarantee which URL will be indexed or how ranking signals will be handled. This tool shows the exact code for each hop.
Yes. Paste any shortened link (bit.ly, t.co, or similar) and the chain resolves down to the final destination URL.
Paste the full URL including its UTM parameters — the chain is traced exactly as given, and each row shows the URL that hop was sent to, so you can see where a parameter is dropped.
It is currently free to use with no signup. Availability and request limits depend on the external tracing service, so unsupported or excessive requests may fail.
Not a public, documented one today. Use the page directly by pasting the URL you want to trace.
No. This is an independent redirect checker on AltFTool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to wheregoes.com. It is here because the URL of this page uses that name; the tool itself is our own.
That is normal for tracking, affiliate and shortened links — they redirect through one or more intermediate domains before reaching the final page. The chain shows every one of them, so nothing is hidden.
