URL, HTTP & APIs

Redirect Chain Inspector

Follow a URL through its redirect hops. Paste the responses your server or terminal already captured and this page maps out every hop — status, Location, resolved destination, loops and timing — without uploading anything.

Runs in your browser v1.0.0

Request

analyzed locally

The URL your request began at. It anchors relative Location values.

curl -sIL "https://example.com"

Run that in your terminal (server-side) to follow the chain, then paste the output below. This page parses and analyzes it locally — nothing is sent anywhere.

Captured responses

HTTP blocks or URL list

Accepts curl -sIL output (one block per hop) or a plain list with one URL per line.

How it works

Capturing a real redirect chain requires a network request, so you run curl -sIL yourself and paste the result. Everything after that — splitting each response block, reading the status line and Location header, resolving relative targets against the previous hop, spotting loops, downgrades and long chains, and summing any Server-Timing data — happens in this page. Your URLs never leave your browser.
