About TraceKit — Redirect & Affiliate Inspector

URL redirect checker and affiliate link inspector for Chrome. Trace every hop in a redirect chain, detect affiliate networks, remove UTM and tracking parameters, and unshorten any link - instantly, without leaving your browser. Right-click any link → "Trace this link" or paste a URL to see the full redirect chain with HTTP status codes, affiliate-network badges (Impact, Amazon Associates, PartnerStack, and 50+ more), and a one-click clean URL with all trackers stripped. FREE FEATURES • Full redirect chain with HTTP status codes (color-coded 2xx / 3xx / 4xx / 5xx) • Affiliate link detector - identifies 50+ affiliate networks per hop • UTM and tracking-parameter remover • Copy clean URL (all trackers stripped) • Link unshortener - reveals where shortened URLs (bit.ly, t.co, etc.) really go • Up to 15 hops per trace • Handles Facebook 1.php, Google redirect, and Refresh-header interstitials PRO FEATURES - one-time $9 unlock, no subscription • Deep trace - follows JavaScript-driven redirects (Auth0, Clerk, Firebase) that HTTP-only redirect checkers can't catch • Page link scanner - scan any page for affiliate, shortener, and tracking links before you click • Bulk URL checker - trace up to 10 links at once • Skip redirects on click - jump straight to the final destination, bypassing every intermediate hop • Side-by-side redirect chain compare with diff view • Headers and cookies inspection per hop • Web-hook export - auto-push trace results to any endpoint • Trace history (last 50 traces, stored locally) • Extended hop limit (25 hops) PRIVACY Runs entirely in your browser. URLs you trace are never sent to the developer or any third party. The only server contact is license-key verification which sends only your key, no browsing data. Pro works offline after first verification. BUILT FOR • Affiliate marketers auditing competitor redirect chains • SEO professionals checking redirect chains for crawl waste and link equity • Journalists tracing sponsored or shortened links • Privacy-conscious users who want to know where a link goes before clicking
