Trace every redirect from start to finish
Paste a link. Hopcheck follows every hop—each status code, query string, and protocol change—and shows you the full chain. The middle is the product.
What changes along the way
A link can arrive at the right page having quietly dropped its query string, downgraded from HTTPS to HTTP for one hop, or bounced through a tracker nobody knew was there. Each of those is invisible if you only look at where you landed—and each one breaks something real.
-
QS
Query string tracking Every hop shows its query string. When a parameter drops or changes, you see where it happened.
-
SC
Status code per hop 301, 302, 307, 308 and meta-refresh are reported distinctly. Permanent vs temporary matters.
-
HT
Protocol change detection A single plaintext hop carries the whole URL in the clear. Flagged even if the chain ends on HTTPS.
-
10
Chain cap at 10 hops The tool says when it hits the limit. A truncated chain and a complete chain are different results.
Who needs a redirect tracer
Marketers checking a campaign URL before it goes out. Support staff handed a short link by a customer who will not click it. Engineers debugging a redirect loop or a lost ?ref= parameter.
Hopcheck answers when you ask it. No accounts, no email, no stored data. Just a clear answer and you move on.
