# Redirect Path review (2026): is it any good? > Free Chrome extension that shows every redirect and status code Checked Oct 23, 2026 ยท graded Oct 23, 2026 by ToolGPA. Redirect Path is a free Chrome extension from the SEO agency Ayima that flags 301, 302, 404 and 500 responses and client-side meta and JavaScript redirects as you browse. Clicking it shows the full redirect chain with each step's HTTP headers, server type and IP address. Version 4.0 added an optional Ask Ayima AI button that sends the chain off for an automated explanation. - **Category:** SEO Browser Extensions - **Made by:** Ayima UK Ltd - **Website:** https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirect-path/aomidfkchockcldhbkggjokdkkebmdll - **Runs on:** Browser extension - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you're not on Chrome, as Ayima names no other browser. - **Facts last checked:** Oct 23, 2026 ## Pricing As of Oct 23, 2026, Redirect Path is free to use. - **Pricing model:** Free - **Free plan:** Free from the Chrome Web Store; Ayima's licence says its extensions are provided free of charge for personal and commercial use. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | Redirect and status code checks, HTTP headers and the optional Ask Ayima AI button, free for personal and business use. | Read from https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redirect-path/aomidfkchockcldhbkggjokdkkebmdll on Oct 23, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with Redirect Path before buying. ## Key features - **Status code flags:** The toolbar icon flags 301, 302, 404 and 500 responses on the page you load, and adds a plus sign when there are several redirects. - **Client-side redirects:** Detects meta refresh and JavaScript redirects as well as server redirects, so the whole path to a page is shown. - **HTTP headers and server IP:** Shows the response headers for each step, such as server type and caching headers, along with the server's IP address. - **HSTS explanation:** Explains when a 307 is only Chrome's cached HSTS upgrade from http to https rather than a redirect set by the site. - **Ask Ayima AI:** An optional button sends the redirect chain's URLs, status codes and headers to Ayima AI for an analysis; nothing is sent unless you click it. ## Good for - Checking redirects during and after a site migration - Spotting redirect chains and loops while browsing a site - Reading a page's HTTP headers without opening developer tools ## Worth knowing - It is listed for Chrome only; Ayima names no Firefox, Safari or Edge version. - It reports on URLs you visit one at a time and does not crawl a list of URLs. - Ask Ayima AI may pass the redirect data to third-party AI providers, and the licence warns its answers can be wrong. - The Chrome Web Store lists the interface in English only. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Redirect Path flags 301, 302, 404 and 500 responses as you browse and shows the full redirect chain, meta and JavaScript redirects included, with each step's headers. That's one narrow job, on URLs one at a time and in Chrome only, and its optional AI button sends the chain to Ayima AI, whose answers its own licence warns can be wrong. - **Value for money: A.** Free, and Ayima's licence says its extensions are free for personal and commercial use. No paid version is listed. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Free outright: status flags, redirect chains, headers and the Ask Ayima AI button, with nothing to upgrade to. - **Features: D.** One narrow function: status codes and redirect chains, server, meta refresh and JavaScript, with headers, server IP and an HSTS note. No tags, headings, links or search data, and no list of URLs to check in bulk. - **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: install it and the icon flags redirects on the next page you load. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Chrome only, so computers only, with no Firefox, Safari or Edge version named and no integrations. The interface is English only. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Ayima's Chrome Web Store listing and licence page on 23 October 2026.

Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price. The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/seo-extensions ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** Redirect Path is free, so making your own would save you nothing. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 18 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions grade higher. - You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
