Notes
- 301 and 308 are permanent redirects that pass ranking signals to the target; 302, 303 and 307 are temporary and tell search engines to keep the old URL indexed.
- Each hop costs a full round trip. Google follows up to 10 hops, but every hop after the first wastes crawl budget and slows users down.
- This check runs from our server, so it only reaches publicly accessible URLs.
