How to Find Redirect Chains with OpenClaw

Find redirect chains and loops with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Optimize your redirect configuration.

OpenClaw maps every redirect chain across your domain and outputs a structured report showing each hop, its status code, and the final destination. The batch approach uncovers patterns like legacy migration redirects that chain three or four hops deep, and the machine-readable output feeds directly into automated redirect cleanup scripts.
