Investigate Link Redirect Chains

Link Analyzer

What is this warning?

Our tool had trouble following the redirect chain for a link on your page. This could indicate a problem like a redirect loop (where Page A sends you to Page B, and Page B sends you back to Page A) or an excessively long chain of redirects. These issues can prevent users and search engines from reaching the final destination.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

A link to Page A redirects to Page B, which redirects to Page C, which then redirects to Page D.

The Solution

Update the original link to point directly to the final destination (Page D). This avoids the unnecessary redirects, speeding up the process for users and search engines.

<!-- Instead of linking to the start of the chain -->
<a href="/page-a">Link</a>
<!-- Link directly to the final destination -->
<a href="/page-d">Link</a>

Why This Works

Eliminating redirect chains improves page load speed and conserves 'crawl budget,' which is the number of pages a search engine will crawl on your site in a given period. It's an important technical SEO optimization.
