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

- 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.
