How to use Redirect Checker
Redirect problems often hide behind a final page that appears normal. A chain may include temporary redirects, an unnecessary www hop, a mobile-only destination or a loop that search crawlers and browsers handle differently.
The checker requests the address through XXF's restricted redirect endpoint and records each HTTP hop. The desktop and mobile user-agent choices help expose routing rules that depend on the requesting browser.
A reliable workflow
- Enter a public http or https URL
- Choose the desktop or mobile user agent and run the check
- Review every status code, destination and the final response before changing server rules
Worked example
Check the canonical https://xxf.app/ address with the desktop user agent
https://xxf.app/A healthy canonical address should finish on the same HTTPS URL without an avoidable hostname or protocol hop. Repeat with a legacy HTTP or www address to compare the chain
When this tool helps
- Confirm an HTTP-to-HTTPS or www-to-apex migration
- Find long redirect chains that waste crawl time
- Compare desktop and mobile routing for the same landing page
Accuracy and safety notes
- Private, loopback and local-network destinations are blocked to protect the service
- A browser may still behave differently when cookies, authentication or JavaScript navigation are involved
Frequently asked questions
Does XXF upload or store my data?+
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser. Your input is not sent to XXF, stored on a server or used for training.
Which redirect responses are shown?+
The checker follows HTTP redirect responses and reports each URL and status code until it reaches a final response or a loop.
