Frequently Asked Questions

What is a redirect chain?
A redirect chain occurs when a URL redirects to another URL that also redirects. Long chains slow page load and dilute SEO link equity.
How many redirects can it trace?
Up to 10 hops. If a loop is detected, tracing stops to prevent infinite loops.
What is the difference between 301 and 302?
301 is a permanent redirect (SEO-friendly), 302 is temporary. 307 and 308 preserve the HTTP method across redirects.
