What does this tool do?
The SERPInsight Redirect Chain Finder is a specialized diagnostic utility that traces the path of a URL hop-by-hop. It identifies every intermediate step between the link you click and the page you land on.
Redirect chains occur when Page A redirects to Page B, which then redirects to Page C. Long chains dilute ranking power (Link Juice) and slow down your site. This tool helps you find these issues so you can link directly from A to C.

How to read the results
Ideal. The URL resolves immediately with a 200 OK status. No link equity is lost.
Acceptable. Often normal for HTTP->HTTPS or www->non-www enforcement.
Problematic. Multiple hops (A->B->C) slow down loading and should be consolidated.
Critical. The browser is stuck in an infinite loop or the page is broken (404/500).
