Frequently asked questions

What is a redirect chain?

A redirect chain is when a URL redirects to another URL that redirects again before reaching the final page. Each hop slows visitors down and can lose some ranking signals.

Is a 302 redirect bad for SEO?

A 302 is a temporary redirect. For permanent moves use a 301 so search engines replace the old URL with the new one in their index.

How many redirects are too many?

Aim for a single redirect. Google follows up to 10 hops but recommends keeping chains as short as possible.
