Redirect Inspector
Redirect Inspector is a real-time redirect console designed for QA engineers, SEO specialists, and developers. It captures the complete navigation flow while you browse — including server redirects and client-side redirects — and groups them into a clean, readable chain. No manual URL testing required. What it does • Records every redirect as it happens • Supports 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 status codes • Detects JavaScript and meta-refresh redirects • Shows HTTP-to-HTTPS upgrades as a distinct hop • Groups chains by tab and browsing session • Hides tracking pixels and analytics noise by default • Works in a persistent side panel for continuous monitoring Built-in local analysis Automatic checks help you understand what is happening inside a redirect chain: • Redirect loops • Ping-pong patterns (www/non-www, http/https, slash variations) • Long redirect chains • Mixed permanent and temporary redirects • Final 4xx/5xx errors • Login and OAuth bounce patterns • Locale and consent redirects • Tracking parameter noise • CDN intermediaries (Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, CloudFront) Each issue includes a severity level (info, warning, error) and hop-level annotations. You can copy a clean, redacted report for use in issue trackers or documentation. Designed for QA engineers — validate landing flows and user journeys. SEO specialists — review redirect hygiene and canonical consistency. Developers — debug navigation logic and unexpected redirect behavior. Privacy All capture and analysis happen locally in your browser. • No external servers • No analytics • No remote code • No cookie values stored • No authentication tokens logged Redirect Inspector operates fully client-side.
