Redirect Chain

What It Does

Makes HTTP requests following all redirects while recording each hop. Documents status codes, redirect types, response headers, and timing for each step. Identifies common issues like redirect loops, mixed content (HTTPS to HTTP), and excessive chain length.

Why It's Useful

Redirect chains impact SEO (passing link equity), page load speed, and can introduce security issues. Understanding the complete chain helps diagnose problems and optimize user experience.
