If you face an unexpected 301 or 302 redirect in Magento 2 and you don't know why it happens or what code causes it, you can easily find this out by temporarily editing the following files:

/vendor/magento/framework/HTTP/PhpEnvironment/Response.php
/vendor/magento/framework/Controller/Result/Redirect.php

Open Response.php and add the following line to the beginning of the setRedirect function:

var_dump($url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit();

Example:

public function setRedirect($url, $code = 302)
{
    var_dump($url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit();
    $this->setHeader('Location', $url, true)
        ->setHttpResponseCode($code);

There are situations in Magento 2 when page keeps loading and then you get 500 fatal error, memory limit, or timeout error. This is an infinite loop in the PHP code, when the same code is executed over and over again. It is related to some core Magento issues or, most likely, third party extension.

To debug an infinite loop and find the loop entrance, please follow the steps below:

1. Open the app/bootstrap.php file and add this code right after PHP open tag <?php in the next line

$_SERVER['MAGE_PROFILER'] = 'html';

2. Open the vendor/magento/framework/Profiler.php file and add this code to the beginning of "public static function start($timerName, array $tags = null)" function, e.g.

In case you work with a lot of different Magento instances as a temporary project you might want to have a nice method to check debug backtrace of some function execution in Magento 2 quickly without installing or enabling additional software on the server, e.g. Xdebug.

In this case, you can use the native Magento backtrace function from \Magento\Framework\Debug class and call it whenever you need:

\Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false);

As a result, you will get this nice HTML debug-backtrace:
