      Hi,

      Is there anything wrong with over 100   301 reditects on my wordpress website and how do you go about

      redirecting a 301 again  for example   abc.com redirects to bca.com now i want to redirect bca.com to ert.com

      any problems with this setup?

      Regards

        In general you'd like to keep a redirect chain at a minimum, three redirects in a chain would be the limit I'd set.

          The better way to go is revise the redirect to point abc.com to ert.com. The more jumps that someone (whether it's a bot or a user) needs to take, the longer it will take the page to load. Limit the redirects and make sure the jump lands at the final destination instead of many detours.

            Thankyou for your answers  so It doesn't matter how many 301 you have in a website as long as it isn't a chain more than 3?

            Regards
