Redirection loop. Best way to resolve...

[Daren-WebSupportLab]

Hi Guys

Got a warning on a crawl today

"Your page is redirecting to a page that is redirecting to a page that is redirecting to a page... and so on."

In GWMT it is set to www. and also back-end in my server.

I also have an SSL deployed and in my htaccess the rule is added to ensure all pages got to SSL.

Any of you guys have advice regarding the best route to go or should I "IGNORE" this warning as all other aspects are clocking 95%+?

Thanks in advance

Daren

Is it something like 'non /' to 'trailing /' to 'https' by any chance?

It's not a major issue as far as I'm aware - I've had it on a few sites where I wasn't able to implement changes to the redirects, and it didn't stop the sites from ranking as well as would be expected.

But it's also solvable - just implement the redirect rules for http non / to https, and http trailing / to https rather than in a chain.

Hi Dan

Thanks for the response.

I did have 3 but now got the number of affected pages down to 1.

Not a / issue, it appears to show the non www to https as the loop.

Have set the appearance in GWMT as normal for display and set the derivative options accordingly in Plesk and not via htaccess.

It was the plesk v htaccess element that I changed and removed 2 warnings. I shall keep an eye on it and see if this resolves/impacts over time.

Thanks again,

Daren
