Frequently Asked Questions

A redirect rule tells a web browser or server to forward one URL to another. Common HTTP status codes include 301 (permanent), 302 (found/temporary), 307 (temporary preserve method) and 308 (permanent preserve method).

When a browser receives a 3xx response with a Location header, it automatically sends a new request to the target URL. It repeats this until a non‑redirect status (like 200) is received or a maximum number of hops (often 20) is exhausted.

301 indicates a permanent move – search engines update their index. 302 means temporary redirect and search engines usually keep the original URL indexed. For SEO, 301 is preferred when the change is permanent.

Browsers enforce CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) for security. A front‑end tool can only inspect redirects if the server explicitly allows it via Access-Control-* headers. Use our Simulator or a server‑side tool for arbitrary URLs.

Enter your rules in the Rule Simulator. Starting from your initial URL, the tool will apply each matching rule exactly as a server would, showing the exact redirect chain your visitors would experience.
