Magento Rewrite Issue
-
Moz's Crawler has thrown up a bunch of crawl issue for my site.The site is a magento based site and I recently updated the themes so some routes may have have become redundant. Moz has identified 289 pages with Temporary Redirect. I thought magento managed the redirects if I set the "Auto-redirect to Base URL" to Yes(301 Moved permanently). But this is enabled on my store and I still get the errors.
The only thing I could think of was to add a Robots.txt and handle the redirection of these links from here. But handling redirection for 289 links is no mean task. I was looking for any ideas that could fix this without me manually doing this .

Hello! Have you re-checked your URLs http status manually or with something like httpstatus.io for the current status? Sometimes crawlers throw up errors that aren't the most accurate.

Hello,
If you share the site we can have a look and let you know. If you set the redirects to be 301 in Magento then they're probably 301s. However, Moz may be giving you data from their last crawl, or they may be giving you data about different URLs, other than the ones you're redirecting permanently. If you check the http header status with a tool like the one DJOGlobal recommended you'll know for sure.
I'm marking this as answered, but if you need more help with this specific issue feel free to respond.
