Reveal the full redirect chain behind a shortened or suspicious URL — without opening it in your browser.
Shortened URLs (bit.ly, t.co, lnkd.in) and tracking links can hide their final destination behind half a dozen redirects. This tracer follows every hop server-side and shows you the full chain — status codes, intermediate URLs, and the final landing page — so you know exactly where a link points before you click it. Especially useful for vetting links from email, SMS phishing, and ads.
Open the page, enter the input you want to check, and the result appears immediately above — there is nothing to install, no account to create, and no popup to dismiss. Every Toolzer utility is designed to give you the answer on the first screen and let you copy or share it in one click. If the result looks unexpected, run the test a second time: transient network conditions, browser extensions, and corporate proxies can all affect single-shot measurements, and a fresh run usually confirms whether the issue is real or a one-off blip.
Every tool on Toolzer is built to work on desktop and mobile, including the latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Brave. Results are rendered directly in your browser whenever possible, so the page stays responsive even on slow connections. When a server lookup is required — for example to query public DNS, WHOIS, or geolocation databases — the request is proxied through Toolzer's edge so the third-party service never sees your IP address.
Toolzer is a privacy-first toolbox: the page is served as a static, minified bundle with long-lived cache headers, so repeat visits are essentially free for both you and our servers. Inputs you type — text to format, passwords to generate, URLs to inspect — stay on your device unless an explicit server lookup is required. We do not sell data, we do not run third-party advertising trackers, and we do not require an account to use any tool on the site.
Bookmark this page and pair it with the other utilities listed below; together they cover most of the day-to-day SEO, networking, security, and developer tasks that would otherwise need three or four separate apps. If you spot a result you cannot explain, the FAQ underneath answers the most common questions about how the underlying measurement works and where its limits are.
The final URL may serve different content based on your IP, cookies, or referrer. Tracing the chain server-side reveals the structure without exposing your browser.
No. Only HTTP 3xx redirects are followed. Pages that redirect via meta refresh or JavaScript will appear as the final stop.
Most legitimate chains finish in 1–3 hops. A 10-hop cap prevents redirect loops and abusive chains from hanging the tool.
No. The request is made from our server, not your browser. The destination sees our edge IP, not yours.
No. Every utility on Toolzer is free, anonymous, and works in any modern browser without registration. You will never see a paywall or a forced sign-up flow — the goal is to give you the answer on the first screen and let you move on.
Yes. Whenever the tool can produce an answer entirely in the browser — password generation, JSON formatting, regex testing, hashing, text counting — the data never leaves your device. When a server lookup is unavoidable (DNS, WHOIS, geolocation), the request is proxied through Toolzer's edge so the upstream service never sees your real IP address.
Yes. The interface is fully responsive and works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, Samsung Internet, and every other up-to-date mobile browser. You can pin the page to your home screen for one-tap access.
Yes. Every Toolzer page has a clean, permanent URL you can bookmark, share, or paste into a ticket. Results are generated client-side on each visit, so the link always shows fresh data instead of a stale screenshot.
