Why Redirect Analysis Matters

SEO Performance

Search engines prefer direct links. Long redirect chains dilute link equity and can hurt rankings. Keep chains under 3 hops for best SEO results. BinaryConvert to convert data formats instantly in the browser.

User Experience

Each redirect adds latency. Users on slow connections may abandon pages that take too long to load. Optimize redirects to improve load times.

Correct Status Codes

Using 301 vs 302 matters. Permanent redirects (301) pass link equity, while temporary redirects (302) don't. Choose the right code for your use case.

Avoid Loops

Redirect loops break your site entirely. Browsers give up after too many redirects, leaving users with error pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
A 301 redirect is permanent and tells search engines to transfer all link equity (SEO value) to the new URL. A 302 redirect is temporary and doesn't pass link equity. Use 301 for permanent moves (like domain changes) and 302 for temporary situations (like A/B testing or maintenance pages).
How many redirects is too many?
For optimal SEO and user experience, keep redirect chains under 3 hops. Google recommends minimizing redirect chains because each hop adds latency and dilutes link equity. Long chains (5+ hops) can significantly slow page loads and may cause search engines to give up crawling.
Why are my redirects slow?
Slow redirects are usually caused by: (1) Multiple redirect hops - each hop adds network latency, (2) Server response time - slow servers delay each redirect, (3) DNS lookups - cross-domain redirects require new DNS queries, (4) Geographic distance - redirecting to servers far from users increases latency. Use our latency chart to identify which hops are slowest.
How do I fix a redirect loop?
A redirect loop occurs when URL A redirects to URL B, which redirects back to URL A (or through more hops). To fix: (1) Check your .htaccess or nginx.conf for conflicting redirect rules, (2) Verify your CMS/framework isn't adding automatic redirects, (3) Check for redirects at multiple levels (DNS, CDN, server, application), (4) Use our redirect checker to trace the exact loop path. Remove or correct the conflicting redirect rule.
