📌 Redirect Checker API

The Redirect Checker API lets developers, SEO professionals, and site owners programmatically analyze how a given URL redirects — following every step from the original request through any intermediate redirects until the final destination. It reports HTTP status codes at each step and identifies redirect types (permanent, temporary, etc.), helping detect misconfigurations, redirect loops, unnecessary hops, or broken redirects.

This tool is especially useful for technical SEO audits, link validation, workflow automation, and ensuring users and search engines land on the correct target pages. It returns structured data about redirect paths that can be integrated into analytics dashboards or automated testing systems.
