Link Redirect Trace

Link Redirect Trace maps the full path of a redirect and reports what happens at each hop. Beyond the path it analyzes protocol headers, REL-canonicals and robots.txt, and shows backlink power and trust for the URLs involved. It tells you whether robots.txt or an X-Robots-Tag blocks crawlers from a redirect, which URL drops cookies and more. The publisher presents it as an extension for on-page SEO, off-page SEO and competitor analysis, with deeper reporting available through Link Research Tools. It runs as a Chrome extension, suited to SEOs who audit migrations, link building targets and redirect chains and want advanced, accurate checks gathered in one view rather than spread across several tools. It rounds out an audit with canonical and header checks beyond the redirect itself.
