Redirect QA

Redirect Checker for Ad Tracking

Verify tracker, pixel, and landing page hops before campaigns launch.

Overview

Ad trackers stitch together multiple domains and query strings; without a log you have no proof when UTMs or click IDs vanish.

Why this matters

Common mistakes

Bake redirect QA into every launch

  1. Log the chain

    Paste the ad URL into Redirect Checker and review the full hop list.

  2. Validate parameters

    Confirm utm_source, utm_campaign, and click IDs survive each hop.

  3. Share with engineering

    Provide the export to developers or analytics before approving the launch.

  4. Archive results

    Store the log per campaign so you can compare future regressions.
