Frequently Asked Questions

What is a redirect chain?
A redirect chain is a series of HTTP redirects from one URL to another. For example: URL A redirects to URL B, which redirects to URL C. Each redirect is called a "hop".
Why are redirect chains bad for SEO?
Each redirect adds latency and can dilute PageRank (link equity). Google recommends keeping redirect chains to a minimum. Ideally, redirects should point directly to the final destination.
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
301 is a permanent redirect, telling search engines the page has moved permanently. 302 is temporary, meaning the original URL may be used again. Use 301 for permanent URL changes.
How many redirects are too many?
Google follows up to 10 redirect hops. However, best practice is 1-2 redirects at most. Each redirect adds 50-100ms of latency and can impact SEO.
