301 Redirect Checker

With our 301 Redirect Checker tool you can check and validate website or domain redirect types. Having proper url redirection on your website is an important factor for SEO (url canonicalization and duplicate content), and should not be neglected - because it's easy to check and fix with RedirectChecker.com!

Whether your webserver is Linux (Apache using .htaccess or Lighttpd) or Windows (IIS), browse our simple step-by-step tutorials to quickly setup your redirects.
And if you're looking to do configure the redirection from within the code of your programming languages, we have guides for PHP, ColdFusion, ASP or ASP .NET, JSP (Java), Javascript, and CGI Perl!

If you're looking to set up an HTML redirect - you can't. The language isn't structured for this. You could try using Javascript, although that isn't very search engine friendly. Linux or Windows server configuration is what you should be reading about or consider serving the HTML using one of the languages noted above.

A 301 Redirect, also known as a Permanent Redirect, is the best way to direct search engines and users to new or relocated website content. When planning and analyzing your Search Engine Optimization (SEO), you need to focus on your redirects. Maybe you've changed file names, or redesigned or site, or maybe you have another site that you'd like to direct your visitors (and search engines)... but it could all be wasted if not done correctly.

Quite simply, 301 redirects are the most SEO friendly way to redirect a web page or site. Are you doing it correctly? Enter your URL at the top of the page to find out.
