Check back during the campaign to see how many redirects have occurred. The number of redirects can be found on the Web Site Forwarders page. Go to Website > Forwarders then click the redirect number for the redirect you want to review. At the resulting page, you'll see the source URL, the destination URL, and the total number of redirects, along with the date of the last redirect. Here's an example from one of our organizations.
You can reset the “counter” on the forwarder by selecting checking the correct forwarder and clicking Reset Selected.
