What types of Affiliate links can it follow?
Our tool follows all types of redirects including:
- 301/302 HTTP redirects
- Meta refresh redirects
- Complex multi-step redirect chains
- Cloaked and shortened URLs
How does location simulation work?
The tool is using a Residential Proxy to get a random IP Address in the country. You can test your links as if you’re browsing from different countries and regions. This helps verify geo-targeting rules, regional offers, and location-based restrictions that affiliates often encounter.
If you want to detect Residential Proxies on your campaigns you can go to 24metrics as they can detect these types of IPs.
Does it support with cloaked / shortened links?
Yes! Our tool can handle cloaked URLs, shortened links (bit.ly, tinyurl, etc.), and other obfuscated affiliate links, revealing the complete redirect path.
What devices can I simulate?
Test your links across multiple device types: Desktop (Windows, Mac) Mobile (iOS, Android). All Redirects will be be simulating modern devices.

Why Test Your Affiliate Links?
Affiliate marketing runs on links. Every click that fails to reach its destination is money left on the table. The problem is that affiliate links rarely go straight from point A to point B. They pass through tracking systems, get redirected based on location, and sometimes break without warning.
Our affiliate link checker traces the complete path your links take. You see every redirect, every hop, and the final landing page your visitors actually reach. No more guessing whether your campaigns work correctly in different countries or on different devices.
Common Problems This Tool Solves
Geo-targeting issues are the silent killer of affiliate campaigns. An offer might work perfectly in the US but redirect to a dead page in Germany. Without testing from actual IP addresses in each target country, you would never know. Our tool uses residential proxies to simulate real visitors from your target markets.
Device-specific redirects catch many affiliates off guard. Advertisers often send mobile traffic to app stores and desktop traffic to landing pages. If you only test from your laptop, you miss half the picture. The affiliate link tester lets you check how your links behave on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
Broken redirect chains happen more often than advertisers admit. Networks change tracking domains. Offers get paused. Landing pages move. A link that worked last week might send traffic into a black hole today. Regular testing catches these problems before they drain your budget.
Cloaked and shortened links hide their true destination. Whether you received a bitly link from a partner or want to verify where a competitor sends traffic, the redirect checker reveals the complete chain. You see every intermediate step, not just the final page.
How the Redirect Chain Analysis Works
When you submit a URL, our system follows every redirect just like a real browser would. We record each step of the journey including HTTP status codes, redirect types, and response times. The results show you the full path from your original link to wherever it ultimately lands.
The tool handles all standard redirect methods. This includes 301 permanent redirects, 302 temporary redirects, meta refresh tags, and JavaScript-based redirections. Smartlinks that route traffic based on conditions get traced to their actual endpoints for your selected country and device combination.
Who Uses Affiliate Link Testing Tools?
Affiliate marketers verify their tracking links work correctly before scaling campaigns. Nothing worse than sending paid traffic to broken offers.
Affiliate managers check that publisher links route to the right destinations. They also audit for unauthorized redirect insertions or link hijacking.
Media buyers test offer links across all their target geos before launching campaigns. A quick check prevents wasted ad spend on non-converting traffic.
Network operators monitor offer health across their portfolio. Automated checks catch problems before affiliates start complaining about missing conversions.
Whether you run a single campaign or manage thousands of offers, knowing where your links actually go is not optional. It is the foundation of profitable affiliate marketing.
