Interactive intelligence tool
Run the check, then ship the workflow
Use the browser tool for a fast answer, then move the same logic into scripts, monitoring, or product flows when it becomes repeatable.
Review decision-ready signals
Outputs highlight statuses, risks, records, and next actions instead of raw provider noise.
Automate the workflow that works
Use the request and response examples to turn a one-off check into an API call or recipe.

Key Features
Redirect Checker
A redirect chain is the sequence of HTTP redirects (301, 302, 307, 308) that occur when navigating from one URL to another. Too many redirects can slow down your site and hurt SEO.
Analyze redirects
There is no single cutoff, but every hop adds a request and can slow visitors or make a broken destination harder to trace. Googlebot can follow up to 10 hops, but Google recommends redirecting straight to the final URL.
Results
A 301 marks a permanent move; a 302 marks a temporary one. Both send the request to another URL, but the choice tells clients and search engines how to interpret the move. For POST requests, a client may change the method to GET after a 301 or 302; 307 and 308 preserve the method.
Example request
GET /v1/redirects?url=https://example.comExample response
{
"chain": [{ "status": 301, "location": "https://www.example.com" }]
}Built on the same API
The browser experience previews DomScan's structured endpoints, so teams can validate a use case before writing code.
