.htaccess Redirect Checker – Your Website Rules
Paste your .htaccess file content and test how Redirect, RedirectMatch and simple RewriteRule rules affect a given URL. Detect potential redirect loops or unexpected targets.
.htaccess Redirect Analyzer – clean up your redirect logic
Paste the content of your .htaccess file, add your base URL and an optional test path, and this tool extracts all standard redirect rules into a clear overview. In a few seconds you see which status codes, patterns and targets are active, and how browsers and search engines are redirected from old URLs to new ones during daily traffic or after a migration.
Use the analysis to find broken rules, unnecessary redirect chains or mixed 301/302 logic that might waste crawl budget and SEO authority. Simulate a key landing page before you touch production, clean up outdated rules, then upgrade to the SEO Expert plan to combine redirect control with full on-page audits and ongoing monitoring inside SEOcheck.hu.
Keep redirect chains short and use permanent status codes
Aim for simple one-step redirects wherever possible and use 301 status codes for permanent moves. Long chains and unnecessary 302 responses slow down page loads, waste crawl budget and can dilute the authority passed to your key landing pages.
Make HTTP, HTTPS, www and non-www versions consistent
Decide on a single canonical version of your domain and redirect all other variants to it. Avoid conflicting rules in multiple .htaccess files that send traffic back and forth between different versions, because this can create loops or unstable redirect behavior in search engines.
Test critical URLs after every change
Each time you update your .htaccess, run this analyzer on your most important pages and on a few legacy URLs. If you see unexpected hops, loops or missing redirects, fix them before search engines recrawl your site at scale and organic traffic starts to drop.
