I use this daily for domain research. The structured output with copy buttons saves me tons of time compared to raw whois terminals.

❓ FAQ

What is a redirect chain?+
A redirect chain occurs when a URL redirects to another URL which itself redirects again. For example: http:// → https:// → https://www → final page. Each hop adds latency and dilutes SEO equity.
How many redirects are too many?+
Ideally zero — serve content directly. One redirect (HTTP to HTTPS, or www to non-www) is acceptable. Two or more redirects in a chain is harmful for performance and SEO. Google recommends keeping chains under 5 hops.
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?+
301 is permanent — tells search engines to transfer all link equity to the new URL and update their index. 302 is temporary — search engines keep the original URL indexed and do not pass full SEO equity.
Do redirects affect SEO?+
301 redirects pass most (approximately 99%) of link equity to the destination. Multiple redirect hops dilute equity slightly at each step. Redirect chains also slow page load time, harming Core Web Vitals and user experience.
What are redirect loops?+
A redirect loop occurs when URL A redirects to URL B which redirects back to URL A. Browsers detect loops after a few hops and show an error like "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS". Check for conflicting redirect rules in .htaccess or server config.
