HTTP Redirect & Status Chain Visualizer

Diagnose redirection latency and protocol upgrades:

• •Enter Initial URL: Input your starting URL (e.g. `http://example.com` or affiliate link).
• •Inspect Hop Visualizer: Follow the sequential hop diagram detailing status codes (301, 302, 307, 308, 200 OK), round-trip latency (ms), and IP addresses.
• •Examine Response Headers: Click any hop to review server headers, cache controls, and `Location` target headers.
• •Identify Performance Bottlenecks: Highlight multi-hop redirect chains that degrade Google crawl budget and slow down mobile page loads.

Every intermediate redirect hop forces the browser to execute a new DNS resolution, TCP handshake, and TLS negotiation round-trip, adding 50-300ms of avoidable latency:

• •301 Moved Permanently: Transfers 100% of link equity (PageRank) and signals search engines to update their primary index.
• •308 Permanent Redirect: Similar to 301, but mandates that the HTTP request method and body remain unchanged (e.g. POST stays POST).
• •302 / 307 Found: Temporary redirect; does not transfer permanent canonical indexing authority to the target URL.
• •Chains > 2 hops: Googlebot may abort crawling long redirect chains, causing indexing drop-offs and squandering crawl budget.

Common pitfalls include chaining HTTP -> HTTPS and non-www -> www as two separate hops instead of combining them into a single direct 301 rule.
