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.
