Follow every redirect from a URL to the final page and see each status code, how long each hop takes and how to cut them down.
One per line, up to 20. Start with http:// to test the HTTPS upgrade too.
We follow up to 10 redirects and time every one.
Each extra hop is flagged with the shorter path to use instead.
301 and 308 are permanent: search engines move ranking to the new URL. 302 and 307 are temporary and should only be used for short-term moves.
One is normal (for example http → https). Two or more slows every visit, and Google stops following after about ten.
Some sites redirect by device, country or browser. We check as CubDomainBot, our named crawler, which also follows the site’s robots.txt.
