How do you check if a website is redirected?

Checking the redirection steps of a URL is easy. You simply enter the initial URL or domain name into the search box at the top of the page and press the check redirects button.

How do I know if my website has 301 redirect?

You also need to make sure that people actually visit the HTTPS version of your site, which means using a 301 redirect between the HTTP and HTTPS version. To check that this redirect is in place, go to your homepage and look at the URL bar. You should see https://[www].yourwebsite.com/, plus a lock icon.

How do I see redirects in Chrome?

Type "cache:sitename.com" in the address bar of Chrome and press "Enter" where "sitename" is the URL that is generating the redirect. This will show you a cached version of the site on which you can use the Inspect Element pane to find and capture the redirect URL.

Should I use 301 or 302 redirect?

For permanent changes to a website and continued ranking through SEO, a 301 redirect is necessary. On the other hand, if you're only performing a temporary change, a 302 redirect is better. It tells the search engine that the changes are temporary and may not impact the original page's SEO ranking.
