Questions
What is the difference between 301, 302, 307 and 308?
301 and 308 say the page has moved for good, so search engines move its ranking to the new address. 302 and 307 say the move is temporary, and the old address stays indexed. 307 and 308 also promise to repeat the request exactly, while a browser may turn a form’s POST into a GET after a 301 or 302.
How many redirects is too many?
Aim for one. Every hop is another round trip before the page starts loading, and Google follows at most 10 hops. This checker follows up to 5 and says when the chain goes on; an Uptimecheck HTTP monitor follows up to 10 and reports “Too many redirects” as down.
Why does my site redirect in a loop?
Usually two rules undo each other: a CDN or proxy talks to the server over HTTP while the server sends every HTTP request to HTTPS, or one rule adds www while another removes it. Find which hop repeats in the chain above and remove one of the two rules.
How do I get alerted when a redirect breaks?
An HTTP monitor on Uptimecheck follows redirects and alerts you when the page at the end stops answering. To watch the redirect itself, turn off Follow redirects, expect the 301, and add a header check that Location equals the new address.
Let Uptimecheck keep watching
This free tool answers one question at a time. In Uptimecheck, the same work runs on its own and alerts you when something needs attention.
