CLIENT-SIDE RENDERING
[ ARCHITECTURAL FLOW ]

How RedirectWise Operates.

Pure Manifest V3 service worker design with zero remote script execution.

01

1. Install Unobtrusively

Add RedirectWise from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons. It requests standard webNavigation and webRequest permissions to audit network requests locally.

02

2. Browse Normally

Click any affiliate link, ad URL, or shortened link. RedirectWise intercepts the hop sequence in the background service worker without slowing down page rendering.

03

3. Audit & Export

Open the popup, sidepanel, or full-page dashboard to inspect every status code, response header, and millisecond gap. Export to PDF, PNG, or CSV in one click.

Clarifications & FAQs.

What is RedirectWise?

RedirectWise is an advanced URL redirect checker and HTTP response header analyzer. It intercepts network navigation in real-time, mapping out 301, 302, 307, 308, JavaScript redirects, Meta Refreshes, and HSTS protocol jumps.

Does it send my browsing data to any server?

No. RedirectWise is 100% private and runs entirely on-device inside your browser. No telemetry, no analytics, no external APIs, and no cloud databases.

Can it catch hidden ad redirects & forced page refreshes?

Yes. Basic tools lose data when a URL refreshes. RedirectWise logs up to 2,000 URLs in a persistent indexed database so even aggressive ad redirects remain recorded.

Which browsers are supported?

RedirectWise is available on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, built natively with Manifest V3.
