Frequently Asked Questions
What is a redirect chain?
A redirect chain is a series of HTTP redirects (301, 302, 307, 308) that occur between the initial URL and the final destination. Long chains hurt SEO and page load speed.
How many redirects are too many?
Keep redirect chains to 1-2 hops maximum. More than 3 redirects can significantly impact SEO rankings and user experience.
What is the difference between 301 and 302 redirects?
301 is a permanent redirect — search engines transfer SEO value to the new URL. 302 is temporary — search engines keep indexing the original URL.
