What is SEOBolt best for?

SEOBolt is built for recurring technical SEO audits, LLM Search readiness checks, apply-ready fix plans, AI-agent remediation over MCP, scheduled monitoring, and health-score emails.

Does SEOBolt replace enterprise SEO suites?

No. SEOBolt is transparent about its data sources and is focused on audits, monitoring, and workflow. It does not have a proprietary backlink index like large enterprise SEO suites.

Does SEOBolt work with AI assistants?

Yes. SEOBolt has a built-in MCP server for Claude and a REST API. AI agents can sign up, run audits, and get results programmatically.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 2 projects, 3 crawls per month, and 100 pages per crawl. You can also run a single-page audit at /free-audit without signing up. Paid plans are billed monthly; see /pricing.

Free SEO tools / Redirect Checker

Redirect checker: trace the redirect chain of any URL

Enter a URL and this tool follows its redirects one hop at a time, up to 10, and shows the status code of every hop, the final URL and whether the chain loops. It tells permanent redirects (301, 308) from temporary ones (302, 307), checks that http:// reaches https://, and shows how www and non-www end up.

Free, no sign-up, no email needed.

How it works

We request the URL from our server with the user agent "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; SEOBoltBot/1.0; +https://seobolt.app)" and read the Location header of each 3xx answer, then request that URL, up to 10 redirects.
Every Location is checked again before it is requested: only http and https on ports 80 and 443 and only public addresses are followed. A redirect into a private or internal address ends the chain with an error.
We read up to 256 KB of the final page to look for a meta refresh tag.
We do not log in, run your JavaScript, store the response, or send your site to an AI service.

Limits

Only HTTP redirects are followed. JavaScript redirects and meta refresh are not (a meta refresh on the final page is reported).
The chain is what our server sees. A site can redirect by country, language or user agent, so a visitor elsewhere may see another chain.
10 runs every 5 minutes per IP address.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 301, 302, 307 and 308?

301 and 308 are permanent redirects; 302 and 307 are temporary. 307 and 308 also require the client to repeat the request with the same method, while 301 and 302 let some clients change POST to GET.

How many redirects are too many?

Google's documentation says its crawlers follow up to 10 redirect hops by default. Every extra hop is another round trip for visitors, so the target is one hop from any old URL to its final URL.

Should http:// redirect with a 301?

Yes, when the move to https is permanent: one 301 (or 308) straight to the https:// version of the same path. The checker flags a first hop that is temporary or that stays on http.

Does this follow JavaScript or meta refresh redirects?

No. Only HTTP 3xx responses are followed. If the final page has a meta refresh tag, the tool reports it, but it does not follow it.

Why did the tool refuse to follow a redirect?

Redirects to non-public addresses, non-http schemes or non-standard ports are never followed, as a safety rule for a public tool. Point the redirect at your public page.
