301 Checker Tool

Curious about past redirects on a domain you want to restore? Our 301 Checker helps you quickly identify the presence of 301 redirects over time—key information when assessing a domain's SEO history.

This is the best tool to help you make an informed decision before purchasing an expired domain or a domain from auction. Redirected domains often lose their ranking power (SERP juice), making them a bad purchase, no matter what the backlink profile looks like.

Want to restore an expired or auctioned domain? Our 301 Checker Tool helps you make an informed decision by analyzing historical redirects. Excessive or recent 301 redirects often mean the domain has lost its SEO “juice,” making it potentially less valuable— regardless of its backlink profile.

This tool shows you how many times a domain returned a 301 status code over time, pulling data directly from the Wayback Machine. It’s quick, reliable, and essential for anyone evaluating an aged domain’s ranking potential.

Why 301 Redirects Matter

A 301 redirect permanently redirects traffic from one URL to another. Domains with a history of heavy 301 usage may face SEO challenges—but not always. Understanding a domain’s redirect history helps you make more informed decisions.

How Does This Tool Work?

We leverage the Wayback Machine’s snapshots to check how many times a domain returned a 301 status code. We highlight frequency, timeframes, and repeated patterns—giving you insights into the domain’s past.

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one URL to another. It signals search engines to transfer SEO value to the new URL.

Redirected domains often lose their ranking power, making them ineffective for SEO purposes. If a domain has been heavily redirected, search engines may treat it as a weak asset.

In rare cases, domains can regain authority with strong content and organic traffic. However, it's often difficult to restore their full SEO potential.
