Frequently asked questions
Why do redirect chains matter?
Each extra hop slows the visitor and dilutes link equity. Search engines also eventually stop following long chains.
What is a redirect loop?
When A redirects to B and B redirects back to A — the page can never load. The visualiser flags this immediately.
Should redirects go to the final URL directly?
Yes. Point every old URL straight at the final destination rather than chaining through intermediate URLs.
