About

20+ years shipping infrastructure for payments, crypto, and gambling. Now building my own stack. I run 301.st — a redirect platform on Cloudflare Workers and a suite of privacy-focused browser extensions (Redirect Inspector, FastWeb, Debloat, CookiePeek). Also make WordPress plugins for the Cloudflare ecosystem. I believe in local-first tools, zero telemetry, and clean code. Currently fundraising for a 65-foot yacht as an offshore development headquarters.

Hey PH! I'm Alex — I build browser tools and Cloudflare integrations at 301.st

I've been deep in the Cloudflare ecosystem for years my redirect platform runs on Workers, my extensions leverage its edge, and I just shipped a WordPress plugin that syncs media to Cloudflare Images with encrypted credentials and preset-based delivery. If it touches Cloudflare, I've probably built something for it.

On the browser side, I maintain a suite of privacy-focused extensions: FastWeb (search accelerator), Debloat (hides AI bloat & blocks telemetry), CookiePeek (cookie viewer/editor), and QRCGen.

Right now I'm preparing to launch Redirect Inspector a real-time redirect chain tracer for QA and SEO. It passively captures every hop as you browse, groups them into readable chains, and runs local checks for loops, ping-pong patterns, and tracking noise. No telemetry, everything in-browser.

Why are redirect loops still so common?

Even in 2026, redirect loops and ping-pong patterns (www/non-www, http/https) are surprisingly common even on large websites.

From your experience:

What causes them most often?
CDN rules?
CMS misconfiguration?
Tracking layers?

Redirect Inspector - Real-time redirect console for QA and SEO

Redirect Inspector captures redirect chains in real time as you browse. It traces server (301, 302, 307, 308) and client-side redirects (JavaScript, meta refresh) and groups them into clean, readable chains. Built-in local checks detect loops, ping-pong patterns, long chains, auth bounces, tracking noise, and CDN intermediaries. Everything runs locally. No telemetry. No external requests.
