How this service works
Trace HTTPS redirects for a hostname. Use when you need live hop facts and must not guess. HEAD of https://{domain}/ on :443 (GET if 405/501); follow Location up to 5 hops. HTTPS :443 only after ConnectGuard. Bodies are omitted.
Output
Returns an ordered list of up to 5 redirect hops for the given domain, each with the HTTP status code, Location header value, and any relevant response headers encountered along the chain. Response bodies are omitted. The trace starts with a HEAD request to https://{domain}/ on port 443 (falling back to GET if HEAD returns 405 or 501) and follows Location headers through each hop.
Example use cases
SEO redirect audit for a domain
“Can you follow the redirect chain for shopify.com and show me every hop with status codes so I can check there are no unnecessary redirect loops hurting SEO?”
Security check on shortened URL destination
“I need to know exactly where t.co/abc123 redirects to — can you trace all the HTTPS hops so I can see the final destination before I click it?”
Verifying HTTPS migration redirect
“We just migrated old-site.com to HTTPS — can you trace the redirect chain to confirm it goes straight from HTTP to the new domain without any extra hops?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.fetchx402.com/v1/tools/resolve-redirectWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need live, ground-truth redirect hop data for a public domain rather than cached or guessed results. It is ideal for SEO audits, security vetting of unknown URLs, verifying HTTPS migration correctness, or detecting redirect loops. Prefer it over general HTTP clients when you want a safe, sandboxed trace that never returns response bodies and blocks internal network access via ConnectGuard.
Side effects
- Domain is an IP address, localhost, or internal/mDNS name — rejected by ConnectGuard
- TLS handshake failure on port 443 — connection error returned
- Domain does not exist in DNS — resolution failure
- Redirect chain exceeds 5 hops — trace truncated at 5th hop
- Origin server returns 405 to HEAD and 501 to GET — no redirect data returned
- Non-public or non-routable hostname provided — rejected
