Questions about the Redirects, Headers & Host Checker
- How many redirects will Googlebot follow?
- Google says Googlebot follows up to 10 redirect hops, but every hop slows crawling and delays visitors. Point each old URL straight at its final destination with one permanent redirect.
- Should I use a 301 or a 302 redirect?
- Use a permanent redirect (301 or 308) when a page has moved for good, so search engines move the old URL's signals to the new one. Use a temporary redirect (302 or 307) only when the original URL will come back.
- Why do the www and non-www versions of my site matter?
- If the http, https, www and bare versions all load on their own, search engines see duplicate copies of every page and split signals between them. Redirect every version to one host and protocol; this checker confirms they all end at the same URL.
- How much does the Redirects, Headers & Host Checker cost?
- 10 credits per run, shown before the run starts. An AI agent can run the same tool over the REST API or MCP with a workspace API key.
