Why Only Our Homepage Can Be Crawled Showing a Redirect Message as the Meta Title

[Ben-R]

Hello Everyone,

So recently when we checked our domain using a Moz Crawl Test and Screaming Frog only the homepage comes up and the meta title says “You are being redirected to…”. We have several pages that used to come up and when submitting them to GSC no issues come up. The robots.txt file looks fine as well.

We thought this might be ‘server’ related but it’s a little out of our field of expertise so we thought we would find out if anyone has any experience with this (ideas of reasons, how to check…etc.) or any potential suggestions.

Any extra insight would be really appreciated.

Please let us know if there is anything we could provide further details for that might.

Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Hi Ben,

Would you mind sharing the URL for the site?

Thanks,

1- This may be accredited to your CMS and the database structure it relies on to function.

2- Ask your website host for support regarding this issue. Some issues like this are server level and cannot be corrected at the client level.

3- I would look into webmaster tools to make sure the sitemap is submitted properly and redirects are at a minimum. Also, conduct a few fetch as googlebot tactics.

Hello Kris,

Thank you very much for your help. We’ll contact the host to see if they could help. Is there any way to check if it’s the CMS and database structure or is that also something for the hosting company?

Also, we checked and there was an issue with the sitemap.xml. Could that have been a potential cause? - More just curious.

Please let us know if there are details we could provide that might help.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks again.

Best,
