      Hi All

      My Moz Crawl for my domain brings up 7 redirect chain errors.

      In each case, the original source is our old website. Strangely, only 7 of the pages show up as having redirect chains, as there are many more examples.

      We have added redirects from the old pages via the redirection tool in wordpress. The redirects themselves are working as expected.

      The redirects are from the old website, so the address http://www.oursite.co.uk/example.html to https:www.oursite.co.uk/new-page/

      The chain seems to go from the original site and address to https and then onto the new domain. Screenshot link to the Moz Report

      Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated. The hosts says there is nothing wrong with the.htaccess file, but I'm thinking this must be the issue.

      Many Thanks

        Hi there,

        Probably what is happening is that your plugins are not optimized for redirects. You should address it from your .htaccess file (probably adds the redirects, but they are not optimized). If you can give access, I can help you out.

            You have my details on my profile. And after we resolve it, we should paste here the solution without domain-specific information, so it helps others in the future. (if you don't mind).
