What the redirect auditor finds
LinkJuice scans your internal links for any target that returns a redirect, counts how many links hit each redirecting URL, and resolves the final destination. High-volume offenders — a redirecting URL linked hundreds of times — are the quick wins: repoint the links at the final URL and the equity stops leaking.
- Every internal link pointing at a 301/302 or redirect chain
- Number of internal links hitting each redirecting URL
- The final destination URL to repoint links to
- Genuine 404 internal links separated from redirects
Why links to redirects cost you
Search engines pass less equity through a redirect than a direct link, and each hop in a chain compounds the loss while burning crawl budget. On large sites, tens of thousands of internal links can silently point at redirects. Fixing them is mechanical — update the link to the final URL — but only once you can see the full list.

- Is a link to a 301 redirect bad for SEO?
- It's not catastrophic, but it passes less equity than a direct link and wastes crawl budget — especially across redirect chains. Pointing internal links at the final URL is a clean, low-risk win.
- Does this find redirect chains, not just single hops?
- Yes — it flags links landing on any redirecting URL and helps you resolve them to the final destination.
- Are real broken links separated out?
- Yes. Genuine 404s are reported separately from redirects so you don't conflate the two.
- Is it free?
- Yes, the redirect audit runs free in your browser.
