About www Redirect Checker

What Is a WWW Redirect Checker?

A www redirect checker confirms whether your domain properly redirects between its www and non-www versions (e.g. example.com to www.example.com or vice versa). Without a proper redirect, search engines can treat both versions as separate pages, splitting ranking signals and creating duplicate content.

How Our WWW Redirect Checker Works

Enter your domain and the tool checks both the www and non-www versions, reporting whether one properly redirects to the other and what type of redirect is used.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free?
Yes, checking your www redirect setup is completely free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?

A 301 is permanent and passes most link equity to the new URL, telling search engines to update their index. A 302 is temporary and signals the original URL should remain indexed.

Why do multiple redirects hurt SEO?

Each hop adds load time and can dilute link equity slightly. Long redirect chains are also more fragile — if any link in the chain breaks, the whole path fails.

What is a redirect loop?

A redirect loop happens when a URL eventually redirects back to itself (directly or through a chain), which browsers and crawlers will refuse to follow indefinitely and show as an error.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, checking a URL's redirect path is completely free, with no signup or usage limit.
