Redirect Chains

[kayl87]

Hi There,

I have had conducted a few migrations recently and have a common issue which is this:

HTTP (old site) -> HTTPS (old site) -> (HTTPS) (new site)

Which causes a redirect chain.

How should you prevent this before migration or fix it after migration?

Cheers.

When you put the redirect in place for migrating to the new site, why not just do a redirect http/https (old site) -> https (new site) and this sorts the redirect chain issue.

Thanks for the response.

How would you redirect http and https at the same time?

You would have double urls per page which could get long and tedious. Just wondering if there is better approach.
