Live Redirect Trace Checker

Follow a public URL through validated HTTP redirects and inspect each destination in order.

This live lookup sends only the IP address or hostname you enter to the named public lookup service. Do not submit private hostnames or confidential infrastructure details.

About the Live Redirect Trace Checker

Live Redirect Trace Checker is a focused network utility for administrators, developers, support teams and people troubleshooting an internet connection. Follow a public URL through validated HTTP redirects and list each destination in order.

Live results use a public lookup service. Only the address or hostname submitted for lookup is sent to that service.

Results describe public network information and should not be treated as proof of a person's identity or exact physical location.
