See every redirect before you open a link
Paste any link. LinkInspector safely follows the full redirect chain on the server, shows where it really ends up, the status at each step, and whether it stays secure. No clicking the unknown link yourself.
Full redirect chain
Follows 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 redirects one hop at a time and shows the complete journey to the final destination.
Safe by design
Runs on our server with strict protections, and never contacts private, internal, or cloud-metadata addresses.
HTTPS and security checks
Flags HTTPS to HTTP downgrades, certificate problems, redirect loops, and destinations that change domain.
Status and timing
See the HTTP status and response time at every step, explained in plain language.
Where does this link really go?
Shortened and shared links hide their true destination. A single short link can pass through several redirects before it lands somewhere, and you cannot tell from the outside whether the final page is the one you expect. LinkInspector answers the question safely: paste the link, and it follows the whole chain on the SmartKit server instead of on your device, so you see the real destination without opening the unknown link yourself.
For everyone, the first, the second, and the final step of the chain are always shown. Create a free account to unlock the complete chain, every hop in between, full response headers, the SSL certificate summary, tracking-parameter analysis, and saved reports you can share.
