FAQ

Questions about the redirect checker.

What is the difference between 301 and 302?

301 and 308 are permanent and pass the page's value to the new address; 302 and 307 are temporary.

Why are redirect chains bad?

Every hop adds delay and some crawlers stop after a few hops.

How many hops are followed?

Up to ten. More than that is reported as a loop or a chain that is too long.

Does http to https count?

Yes, it is the most common first hop. Link straight to the https address.
