Good to know
Browsers block reading other sites’ responses, so this check runs on our server: it requests only the URL you enter (plus any redirects), reads headers only, never downloads the page body, and doesn’t log the URL. Only public http/https hosts on ports 80/443 are allowed; private, internal and cloud-metadata addresses are refused. Rate-limited to 20 checks per minute. Results reflect what our server sees, which may differ from what a CDN shows you. Up to 10 redirects are followed and each hop is re-validated. JavaScript and meta-refresh redirects aren’t detected.

Makes a network request to work. We don’t store what you check.

FAQ

301 or 302: which should I use?

Use 301 (or 308) for permanent moves so search engines transfer ranking signals. Use 302/307 only for genuinely temporary redirects.

Is it safe to check a suspicious short link?

Yes. Our server follows the redirects and only reads headers, so your browser never visits the destination.
