Redirect Monitor by Backlinko

Description

Monitor and audit URL redirect chains with detailed timing, headers, and SEO insights. Most redirects happen before you ever see the page. Chrome shows the final URL in the address bar, but not the path that got you there. That path can include a 301, a 302, an HTTPS upgrade, or even an error before the final page loads. Redirect Monitor by Backlinko makes that redirect path visible. Open any URL, then click the extension to see each hop, status code, timing, headers, IP address, and SEO warnings HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the extension 2. Open any URL in Chrome 3. The toolbar badge updates as redirects or errors are detected 4. Open the popup to inspect the full chain 5. Use "Test any URL" to trace a URL from the popup without leaving your current tab No setup needed. Just browse normally and open the popup when you need the details. WHAT YOU GET ► Redirect Chain Breakdown: See every hop between the URL you opened and the final page Chrome loads. Each step shows the full URL, HTTP status code, redirect target, and timing. ► Toolbar Status Badges: See redirects and errors in the Chrome toolbar as pages load, before opening the popup to inspect the full chain. ► Per-Hop Details: Open any step to inspect response headers, server IP address, content type, cache headers, Location header, and server header. ► SEO Warnings: The extension flags redirect loops, long chains, temporary redirects, insecure final HTTP URLs, and HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades.
