3xx redirect

How to fix it

Replace with a 301 (permanent) where appropriate.

Sibling checks in this category

• 302 temporary redirect - The URL serves a 302. Crawlers may keep crawling the source if they expect it to come back.
• Broken redirect - The redirect target is a 4xx / 5xx response. Users land on an error.
• Redirect chain - More than one redirect hop before the final URL. Wastes crawl budget and slows users.
• Redirect chain too long - The redirect chain has too many hops. Some crawlers stop following before the destination.
