Features & Capabilities

Link Redirect Trace is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed for advanced SEO analysis. This tool allows users to perform thorough checks on links, redirects, and rel-canonicals, ensuring correct and complete analysis crucial for on-page and off-page SEO improvements, competitor assessments, and affiliate marketing. It visualizes the full redirect chain, monitors SEO-related attributes like NoIndex or NoFollow tags, robots.txt rules, and tracks cookies on each redirect hop.

Ideal for SEO professionals and marketers, Link Redirect Trace highlights redirect status codes (301, 302, 303, and more), JavaScript and meta refresh redirects, rel-canonical tags, and helps identify harmful redirects or potential penalties. The built-in SEO metrics, including "LRT Power*Trust", offer insights into link strength and trustworthiness. Its all-in-one approach surpasses partial tools by combining redirect, canonical, indexing, and HTTP header analysis to optimize website performance and SEO health effectively.

Is Link Redirect Trace Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Link Redirect Trace requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Link Redirect Trace has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
