What this tool gives you

Location extraction

The first redirect of every URL is recorded, including HTTP and meta-refresh redirects.

External-only filter

Ignore same-site hops such as http to https and keep only the destinations that leave the domain.

Per-URL table

Status code, Location and scope for every submitted URL, plus a clean list of unique destinations.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the URL checker?

The URL checker reports status codes. The Redirections Fetcher is built around the Location header and aggregates the unique destinations for further analysis.

Why are redirects not followed?

The goal is to see the first hop. Following chains would hide the intermediary domains that spam operations use to rotate landing pages.

What counts as an external redirect?

A destination whose registrable domain differs from the source. A jump from www.example.com to example.com is same-site; one to example.net is external.

Are the URLs visited from my IP?

No. Requests are performed by our servers or by the APIVoid URL Status API, so the targets never see your address or browser.
