Free Trailing Slash Checker

Check whether a URL path ends with a slash and review the URL's root-path behavior.

What is a trailing slash?

A trailing slash is the slash at the end of a URL path, such as /services/. Sites may choose slash or non-slash URLs, but consistency matters.

Why check trailing slashes?

If both versions resolve as separate pages, they can create duplicate URL versions. Check redirects and canonical tags when changing a site's slash convention.

SEO best practice

Choose one URL format for your site and use it consistently in internal links, canonical URLs and XML sitemaps.
