In general job hopping is much less an issue than it used to be. That said staying less than a year at multiple jobs, unless they were clearly a temporary consulting gig is definitely a major red flag. It is important to note too, someone with a 20 year career that has had 2-3 short stints is seen far differently then someone with < 3-4 years of experience that has the same.

When I review a resume I look for short stints where the person was an FTE (or freelancer) as generally it is a sign they have a hard time being a team player, or they look for any small reason to self eject versus work through issues. Companies aren't perfect, not one of them, so there will always be one or more reasons people can use to eject, but you need to stick it out some and learn how to work through issues.

In general (specifically in tech), if you stay a minimum of 2 years no one will really care much if you move on, under that and you have to be more cautious how you present and discuss it. I'm not saying I wouldn't interview someone with 1-2 stints under a year. But if you have ~3 years of experience and have had 3-4 jobs it better be clear to me that the jobs were planned as short term gigs or something specific like 1-2 of the companies failed etc.

One strategy you can try is to arrange your resume not in chronological order but about skills and projects you've worked on specifically. This sometimes gets you past the resume review stage though the short stints will come up and you'll need to have a good reason why you are worth taking a risk on. The first one that was because of relocation is fairly easy to justify so I doubt anyone dings you for that, but the others will raise some eyebrows and potentially concern.
