Follow every redirect.
One hop at a time.

Paste a URL. Hopcheck follows every redirect step by step and shows the whole chain — each URL, the status code that caused the hop, and what finally answered. The middle is the product.

Hop 1 301 https://bit.ly/some-campaign
Hop 2 307 https://exmpl.com/click?ref=spring25 query preserved
Hop 3 200 https://example.com/landing?ref=spring25 final

How it works

01

Paste a URL

Any link — short URL, campaign URL, redirect chain. The tool accepts http and https.

02

Hop-by-hop inspection

Hopcheck follows each redirect manually, one at a time. You see every intermediate URL, status code, and Location header.

03

Spot what changed

Missing query string? Plaintext hop? Redirect loop? Each change is flagged and highlighted so nothing goes unnoticed.

What Hopcheck reveals

Query string tracking

Sees every ?ref=, ?utm_source= and ?id= at each hop. Flags when a parameter is dropped or rewritten — the most common silent breakage in campaign links.

Plaintext hop detection

Flags any hop served over http:// even if the chain ends on HTTPS. One plaintext hop carries the full URL — query strings included — in the clear.

Redirect type awareness

Reports the exact status code — 301, 302, 307, 308, or meta-refresh. A permanent redirect is a different fact from a temporary one.

Loop and cap detection

Stops when a URL repeats (redirect loop) or after 10 hops. Reports which happened, so you know whether the chain ended or was stopped.
