Redirect chain
A sequence of one or more redirects between the first URL and the final destination.
Why it matters
Chains can hide where a link really lands, especially in short links and campaign links.
Example pattern
A short URL redirects through tracking domains before ending on a login page.
How CheckLink can help
CheckLink follows a limited redirect chain and shows the path when available.

Security terms are useful, but real decisions need context. Use CheckLink to inspect available signals before you click.
