How it works
Fill from, to, and type. The helper composes human-readable copy and sample snippets. It never requests the URLs over the network.
Privacy: this utility runs in your browser. Formsig serves the page but does not need your input to compute results.

FAQ
Will this check if my redirect works?
No. It does not fetch URLs. Use curl, browser DevTools, or a crawl tool for live checks.
301 or 302?
Use 301 when the move is permanent for SEO. Use 302/307 when the change is temporary.
