Redirect checker · free, no signup
Where does this link actually go?
Paste any short, tracking, or suspicious URL and trace every redirect hop to its final destination. See each status code, unshorten the link, and spot redirect loops or insecure hops — so you know exactly where it lands before you click. We fetch it safely on our server; your browser never touches it.
Redirect checker
We follow the link once on the server and never store it. Public http(s) links only — private and internal addresses are blocked.
Traced with slsh.me — check any link free.
Sharing a long, ugly URL? Make your own clean, trackable short link on slsh.me — free.
What the trace tells you.
A short link is just a chain of HTTP redirects. We walk every 301 / 302 hop to the final page and flag anything worth a second look.
Every hop, in order
See each redirect's status code and URL, from the link you pasted to the page it lands on — so a five-hop tracking chain reads at a glance.
The real destination
Unshorten any bit.ly, t.co, or branded short link and read the final long URL before you ever click it.
Safety flags
We surface redirect loops, hops that drop from https to plain http, and a final host that differs from where you started — the usual tells of a sketchy link.
SSRF-safe by design
We fetch on the server, block links resolving to private or internal addresses, and follow only http and https. Your browser never touches the destination.
Want links that stay clean and never surprise anyone? Every slsh.me short link is a single, trackable hop — no mystery chains, with live click analytics.
Questions
Where does this link go?
Paste it above and slsh.me follows every redirect on the server, showing each hop's status code and URL until it reaches the final destination — so you can see where a shortened or tracking link really lands before you click it.
Is this link safe to check here?
Yes. We request the link from our server, not your browser, so the destination never runs anything on your machine. We also block links that resolve to private or internal addresses, and we only follow http and https. We never store the URL.
Can I unshorten a bit.ly or t.co link?
Yes — that's exactly what this does. Shorteners are just redirects, so the checker walks the chain and reveals the final long URL the short link points to.
Is this free?
Yes. The redirect checker is free and needs no signup. If you want clean, trackable short links of your own, a free slsh.me account gets you live click analytics on every link.
