Bulk Redirect Checker
Paste up to 100 URLs, one per line. We'll trace every redirect chain, flag loops, extract canonical and X-Robots-Tag, and let you export the full report as CSV.
Migrations
Verify every old URL lands on the right new one before and after a site migration.
SEO audits
Spot redirect chains, loops, and canonical conflicts across a list of URLs in one pass.
QA sweeps
Check every marketing link, affiliate URL, or release note after a deploy.
What it does
A batch URL redirect checker built for large lists
Instead of pasting one URL at a time into a browser, drop a whole list into the bulk redirect checker and trace every hop in parallel. It walks each chain from the first request to the final status code, records the headers you need for SEO, and hands you a report you can hand to an engineer, a client, or your future self.
Full redirect chain trace
For every URL you check, the tool reports every intermediate hop — status code, method, duration, and destination — so you can see exactly where a 301 → 302 → 301 chain wastes crawl budget.
Automatic loop detection
Infinite redirect loops silently tank rankings and waste server resources. The bulk checker flags any URL that cycles back on itself and tells you which step the loop begins at.
Canonical + X-Robots-Tag
The final response's rel="canonical" and X-Robots-Tag are extracted automatically, so you can tell if a page is self-canonical, cross-canonical, or accidentally noindex.
Meta refresh support
Not every redirect is a 3xx. If a page uses <meta http-equiv="refresh">, we parse it and follow it, so the bulk URL redirect test catches shortcuts that browser dev tools can miss.
Custom user-agent & headers
Check what Googlebot, Bingbot, or a mobile Safari visitor would see. You can pass custom headers and cookies to simulate logged-in sessions, geo-targeted edge rules, or bot-specific redirects.
CSV & JSON export
Every bulk redirect check can be exported as a CSV (UTF-8 with BOM, Excel-ready) or copied as JSON for a pull request, a QA ticket, or a scripted follow-up.
How it works
Check hundreds of URLs in three steps
The bulk redirect checker is built to feel like a tiny, focused terminal — paste, run, review. There is nothing to install and nothing to log in to.
- 1
Paste your URL list
Drop up to 100 URLs into the textarea — one per line. Old sitemap exports, spreadsheets, crawl-diff reports, affiliate feeds, any column of URLs will do.
- 2
Pick a user-agent and run
Choose a preset (Googlebot, Chrome, Safari, Bingbot…) or open Advanced options to add cookies, custom headers, a POST body, or a lower max-hop limit. Hit Run Bulk Check.
- 3
Review, export, share
Scan the summary, expand any row to inspect the redirect chain, then export to CSV for Excel or copy the raw JSON for a teammate or a script.
Who uses it
When you need to audit a list of URLs, not just one
Any situation where "it works for one URL" is not enough — where you need to be sure that every old URL, every marketing link, or every crawl discovery behaves correctly — is a fit for a bulk URL redirect test.
SEO & site migrations
Before cutover, paste the list of old URLs from your sitemap or Search Console and confirm each one maps to a single 301 hop that lands on the intended new page. After cutover, re-run the same list to verify nothing regressed and no 302s sneaked in.
HTTPS cutovers
Moving from HTTP to HTTPS? Run both the http:// and https:// variants of key pages through the bulk redirect checker and make sure every insecure URL resolves to the canonical HTTPS address in exactly one hop.
E-commerce URL restructures
Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce — any time you rename a collection or consolidate product URLs, a bulk 301 checker gives you a per-URL pass/fail for the entire catalog before Google ever notices.
Marketing & affiliate link audits
Pass a list of UTM-tagged links, ad landing pages, short-URLs, or partner deep-links through the bulk URL checker and catch dead redirects, expired campaigns, or affiliate networks that now bounce through three trackers before reaching the store.
QA after every deploy
Wire a sanity list of critical routes (home, login, checkout, top blog posts, legal pages) into a pinned browser tab. Re-running the bulk check after every deploy takes ten seconds and surfaces broken redirects before users — or search engines — do.
Competitive & backlink research
Export backlinks from your favorite link index and run the target URLs through the bulk redirect tracer to find 404s, soft-redirects, or consolidation opportunities where multiple old pages have been merged into one.
Best practices
Getting the most out of a mass redirect check
A few habits make bulk redirect auditing faster, more accurate, and easier to act on.
filter_alt Normalize your URL list first
Strip trailing whitespace, dedupe, and make sure each line is a fully-qualified URL with a scheme. If you paste a relative path, the bulk redirect checker can't resolve it. Spreadsheets and CSV exports often hide stray tabs or Unicode — a quick de-dupe prevents wasted requests.
public
Test both www and apex hostnames
Pick one canonical host — www.example.com or example.com — and run the bulk check for both variants. You should see exactly one 301 from the non-canonical host to the canonical one, never a loop and never a 302.
smart_toy Check with the user-agent that matters
Many edge networks, geo-routing rules, and A/B frameworks serve different redirects to bots vs. browsers. Run the bulk redirect checker once as Chrome and once as Googlebot. Discrepancies between the two reports are usually the story.
timeline Aim for one hop, never more than two
Each extra redirect burns crawl budget and latency. If the report shows http://example.com/a → https://example.com/a → https://www.example.com/a → https://www.example.com/new-a, collapse the first three into a single rule at your edge.
history Archive each report as a baseline
Export the CSV (or copy the JSON) after a clean run and commit it to your repo or paste it into the migration ticket. Next time someone breaks a redirect, you have a known-good reference to diff against.
FAQ
Questions about the bulk redirect checker
How many URLs can I check in one run? expand_more
The bulk redirect checker accepts up to 100 URLs per run, sent in parallel with a shared timeout. For larger lists (a full sitemap migration, for example), split the list into batches of 100 and run them back-to-back — you can paste a new batch right over the previous one.
What's the difference between single-URL and bulk checking? expand_more
The single-URL checker is optimized for debugging one chain in detail — each hop is laid out with full headers. The bulk tool is optimized for scanning a list: it runs many checks in parallel, shows a compact one-line-per-URL summary, and lets you export the whole report.
Does the bulk checker follow meta refresh redirects? expand_more
Yes. The tool parses <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=…"> tags and follows them as an extra hop labeled META in the report. That makes it reliable for auditing WordPress shortlinks, legacy CMS redirects, and landing pages that use a meta refresh instead of a proper 3xx.
Will it detect redirect loops? expand_more
Yes. If a URL redirects back to itself — directly or through an intermediate hop — the bulk URL checker stops walking the chain, flags the row with a red LOOP badge, and reports which step the loop begins at so you can find the misconfigured rule.
Can I export the results? expand_more
Two ways. Export CSV gives you a UTF-8 file (with a BOM, so Excel on Windows opens it cleanly) containing the source URL, final URL, hop count, canonical, X-Robots-Tag, warnings, and more. Copy JSON places the raw structured result on your clipboard — ideal for pasting into a pull request description, a Jira ticket, or a shell script.
Does it work for POST requests and APIs? expand_more
Yes. In the Advanced options you can switch the HTTP method to POST (or HEAD) and supply a request body. The bulk checker correctly downgrades POST to GET on 301/302/303 responses, just like a real browser, and preserves POST across 307/308 — so you can audit API migrations and endpoint redirects, not just web pages.
Is the bulk redirect checker free? expand_more
Yes — it's completely free to use, no sign-up, no rate-limit surveys, no watermarked CSVs. If you need to run it programmatically, the same engine is exposed via a simple JSON POST at /api/check — see the API docs for the request shape.
My URL loads in a browser but errors in the bulk checker — why? expand_more
The most common causes are: a bot-filtering WAF (try a Chrome user-agent preset), a login-gated page (use the cookies field in Advanced options), or a JavaScript-rendered client-side redirect that the server doesn't emit in HTML. The tool flags the last case with a possible JS redirect warning so you know to look at the page with dev tools instead.
