Redirect Checker
Paste a link and see every hop it takes: status codes, response times and where it finally lands. Useful when an affiliate says a link is broken and you cannot reproduce it.
Up to 40 checks per day. Only public http/https addresses — private and internal hosts are refused.
What to look for in a chain
Every hop costs you conversions
Each redirect adds latency, and on a slow mobile connection a four-hop chain loses real clicks before the landing page ever paints. Two hops is normal. Five is a problem worth fixing.
An http:// hop breaks tracking
If any hop drops to plain http, browsers strip the referrer and some will block the request outright. One insecure hop in the middle is enough to lose attribution on the whole chain.
Watch for lost query strings
Compare the parameters on the first URL with the last. Shorteners and some redirect scripts drop query strings, which is the usual reason a click arrives with no sub-ID and no campaign attached.
