Broken redirects spill your traffic and burn your rankings. You fix one, two, ten — but the real damage comes from the ones you don’t see.
Most SEO tools check a single URL or a few at a time. You can’t find systemic issues that way.
What Is a Bulk Redirect Checker?
Bulk Redirect Checker is a free browser-based tool that tests hundreds or thousands of URLs at once to confirm if their redirects work correctly. You paste a list, hit go, and see every status code, final destination, and failure in seconds.
No login needed. It runs in your browser, so your data stays private.
Why It Matters for SEO
Google recrawls most sites every 3–7 days. If you rolled out bad redirects after a migration, Google may have already cached broken paths.
You lose link equity every time a 301 redirect points to a 404 or loops endlessly. One study found 22% of migrated sites had over 30% of redirects failing — and ranked 40% lower as a result.
The real issue is that most people only test top pages. Your blog archives, old product lines, and forgotten URLs carry equity too.
How to Use It
- Go to https://scrawl.tools/tools/bulk-redirect-checker (no login needed)
- Paste up to 10,000 URLs — one per line — from a spreadsheet, sitemap, or crawl export
- Click "Check Redirects" and wait — results load in under a minute for most batches
You’ll see HTTP status codes, redirect chains, and final destinations without exporting or installing anything.
What the Results Tell You
Each row shows the original URL, the final destination, status code, and any errors. You’ll spot 404s, 500 errors, redirect chains, and mixed HTTPS/HTTP issues instantly.
A 301 to a working HTTPS page? Good. A 301 that ends at a 404? That kills rankings. A chain longer than 3 hops? Google might drop it.
Most people miss the 500 errors hiding in bulk redirects. One server glitch on a staging site pushed to production tanks hundreds at once.
Here’s what actually happens: you fix what you see, but the tool shows what’s actually live. That gap is where SEO fails.
3 Mistakes Most People Make
- Checking redirects one at a time — It’s slow and incomplete. You won’t catch patterns like domain-wide HTTP fallbacks.
- Trusting migration scripts without verification — Code fails. A script might map /old-page to /new-page, but if /new-page is unpublished, you get a 404.
- Ignoring non-200 final destinations — You see a 301 and think it’s fine. But if it lands on a soft 404 or login page, it’s useless.
The worst part? These mistakes compound. A single faulty redirect rule can break hundreds of URLs overnight.
Double-check with the Redirect Chain Checker if you spot looping paths. It digs deeper into multi-hop issues the bulk tool flags.
And if you're hunting other broken links, the Broken Link Checker is free too — no login, same speed.
