Calculation Methodology & Formula
Executes server-side HTTP probes using manual redirect mode to capture every intermediary HTTP response code, location header, latency, and security headers.
HTTP Client -> [GET Request] -> Status Code (1xx - 5xx) + Redirect Hops + Response HeadersWorked Example: Inspect HTTP to HTTPS Redirect
Check http://github.com redirect path and final status.
url:http://github.com
Expected OutputHop 1: 301 Moved Permanently -> Hop 2: 200 OK (https://github.com/)
Detects canonical 301 permanent redirect chain and confirms HTTPS destination.
Technical Constraints & Limitations
- Private IP networks (127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, etc.) and link-local ranges are blocked by SSRF protection.
- Maximum redirect chain limit is 5 hops to prevent endless redirect loops.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do HTTP status codes mean?
2xx codes indicate success (200 OK); 3xx codes indicate redirects (301 Permanent, 302 Temporary); 4xx codes denote client issues (404 Not Found, 403 Forbidden); and 5xx codes denote server errors (500 Internal Error, 502 Bad Gateway).
Why are redirect chains bad for SEO?
Long redirect chains (e.g., A -> B -> C -> D) waste search engine crawl budget, slow down page loading speeds for visitors, and can cause search bots to abandon crawling.
Can I check both HTTP and HTTPS?
Yes. You can test plain http:// URLs to verify whether your web server correctly enforces 301 permanent redirects to secure https:// protocols.
