ChatGPT identifies redirect chains and loops, then explains why they matter in terms your team can understand. It generates corrected redirect rules for Apache, Nginx, or your CDN, and can create a migration checklist for cleaning up legacy redirects that have accumulated over multiple site redesigns.
