Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my final URL differ from the address bar hop?
User agents may follow 3xx chains server-side while you only see the last response in some debuggers—our checker summarizes the followed result so you compare SEO canonical expectations.
Meta refresh vs HTTP redirect?
This API follows HTTP-layer redirects; `<meta http-equiv="refresh">` or JavaScript location changes happen after HTML loads—detect those with crawlers or manual DevTools network waterfalls.
HTTPS upgrade middleware?
Many hosts 301 from bare domain to `www` and force HTTPS—chains multiply if DNS and CDN both rewrite. Audit to collapse redundant hops for TTFB.
302 misuse cost?
Long-running “temporary” 302s can dilute PageRank signals compared to 301 when content truly moved—choose status codes intentionally.
Caching of redirects?
CDNs may cache 301 responses aggressively—changing targets later requires purge workflows; verify with cache-busting query once then remove.
Privacy of URLs I type?
The server fetches the URL you submit—avoid pasting signed URLs with secrets in query strings; assume logs exist on both our infra and the destination host.
