Audit every link on a page for errors and trace redirect chains hop by hop.

In one sentence

Audit every link on a page for errors and trace redirect chains hop by hop.

The problem

A 301 to a 301 to a 404 looks like a working link until you follow it. Most checkers report the final status and hide the chain that caused it.

Why I built it

I maintain several sites and a redirect chain is the kind of decay nobody notices until traffic drops.

Who it is for

Anyone maintaining a site: SEO work, migrations, content audits.

Current status

Live

Public and usable today. The link below was fetched and confirmed.

Screenshots

Screenshots pending — real captures only, never mocked.

Technology

  • TypeScript
  • Chrome MV3
  • Fetch API

Role

Sole developer.

What I learned

The interesting output is the hop list, not the status code. Showing the chain turns a red badge into an actionable fix.
