How Does It Work
Welcome to our platform — the ultimate solution for acquiring comprehensive redirect data across all domains. Whether you're an SEO expert, marketer, or data analyst, our system is designed to provide deep insights into the redirection behavior of millions of websites. But how exactly does our service work? Let’s break it down.
What Are Redirects and Why Do They Matter?
Redirects are instructions that automatically take users (or search engines) from one URL to another. They are used for various reasons — from rebranding websites, changing domain names, to simple page restructuring. There are different types of redirects, such as 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary), meta refresh, and JavaScript-based redirects. Understanding these redirects is critical for SEO, marketing campaigns, and competitive analysis.
- 301 Redirects – Used when a page has permanently moved to a new location.
- 302 Redirects – Temporary redirects often used during A/B testing or maintenance.
- Meta Refresh – Redirects that rely on HTML meta tags and often have a delay.
- JavaScript Redirects – Executed through client-side scripts and harder to detect through traditional crawlers.
Our Database: What's Inside
We collect and structure one of the largest redirect datasets available online. Our continuously updated database includes:
| Domain | Redirect Type | Target URL | Status Code | Timestamp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| example.com | 301 | https://newsite.com | 301 | 2025-04-15 13:22:01 |
| sampledomain.net | 302 | https://redirectedpage.net | 302 | 2025-04-15 10:47:36 |
This structure allows you to filter, sort, and analyze redirect behaviors on a massive scale, uncovering patterns and strategies used by competitors or identifying potential affiliate schemes and expired redirect chains.
How We Collect the Data
We use a combination of custom crawlers, third-party APIs, and DNS-level tracking to monitor and log redirects in real-time. Our process includes:
- Crawling millions of domains to detect redirects from homepage and internal pages.
- Capturing HTTP headers to determine the type and status of each redirect.
- Validating redirect chains — we follow every step until the final landing URL.
- Timestamping data to track changes and identify new patterns over time.
