What is the difference between a 301 and a 302 redirect?

A 301 is permanent: it tells Google to move rankings to the new URL. A 302 (or 307) is temporary: Google keeps the old URL indexed. For moved pages, always use 301 (or 308).

What is a redirect chain?

A chain is when URL A redirects to B, which redirects to C. Each hop slows the page and can lose link value. Point links and redirects straight to the final URL.

Why check as Googlebot?

Some websites redirect visitors and search engines differently (for example by country or device). Checking as Googlebot shows what Google actually sees.
