What it does
Redirect-Checker.org displays redirect chains and response headers. Its documented checks include HTTP redirects, meta refresh and common JavaScript redirect patterns.
Enter the full address, including http:// or https://, and select a browser or crawler in Set User-Agent. Results show the redirect chain and HTTP headers, including status codes, X-Robots-Tag and canonical Link headers.
This is useful when an old product URL should lead to a replacement page but takes an unexpected route. Check the original address, then repeat with a mobile or search-engine user agent if the site handles those requests differently.
The checker covers 301 and 302 redirects, HTTPS, meta refresh and common JavaScript redirect patterns. It is a focused diagnostic for a supplied URL. Its JavaScript support does not establish how every script-heavy page behaves in a full browser; use the result to locate the step that needs further inspection.
