HTTPS redirects to HTTP

How to fix it

Repoint the redirect at the HTTPS variant. Audit your redirect rules for accidental scheme downgrades.

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.
• 3xx redirect - The URL returns a non-301/302 redirect status. Browsers follow it but crawlers handle it inconsistently.
• 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.
