Disclaimer: This tool only follows HTTP‑level redirects (i.e., 3xx responses with a Location header) and does not detect or follow client‑side redirects (such as meta refresh tags or JavaScript‑based redirects). These types of client‑side redirects require a full page load, which could potentially expose users to harmful content if the intermediate page is malicious. Always exercise caution and verify the final destination before clicking any link.

Privacy Note: All URL expansions are done at the edge using Cloudflare Workers. Your URLs are never stored or logged. History is saved only in your browser's local storage.
