Redirect Checker

What is a Web Page Redirect?

A URL redirect is a method for sending a user from one web page address (URL) to another. Redirects are commonly employed when a page is relocated, a site is freshly reorganized, or a piece of content finds a new long- or short-term home. They help users and bots land on the right content—even if the page doesn’t exist anymore.

There are various kinds of redirects, and their purposes vary, including:

• 301 Redirect (Permanent): Informs search engines the site page has permanently moved. The SEO value (link juice) will typically pass to the new page.
• 302 Redirect (Found or Temporary): Different from the permanent redirection, which indicates a temporary relocation. Search engines generally do not pass any SEO value to the redirected page.
• 307 Redirect (Temporary): 301 but more compliant with the new HTTP standards.

Meta Refresh Redirect — A page-level redirect at the HTML level, that uses a meta tag to redirect the user after a few seconds (not recommended for SEO).

JavaScript Redirect: Employing JavaScript code to redirect users—sometimes, it is passed over by specific bots and is not particularly SEO-compliant.
