Status code and destination at each hopEvery redirect carries an HTTP status — 301, 302, 307, 308 — and a Location header. Hopcheck surfaces both so you see exactly what caused the jump and where it led.
Query string tracking across the chainParameters get dropped, rewritten, or appended as a URL bounces through intermediaries. Each hop shows the full query string with added and removed parameters flagged.
Plaintext HTTP detectionA hop served over HTTP after starting on HTTPS is a security finding. Hopcheck flags every plaintext transition so nothing slips past unnoticed.
Ten-hop chain limitRedirect chains beyond ten hops are rare and almost always signal a misconfiguration or loop. Hopcheck caps the trace at ten hops and tells you the chain was truncated.
