A 301 redirect is an Error that informs search engines that a website or any page on the website has been moved permanently. It is also used when the owner of the website is migrating the current website or creating a new website. It’s also appropriate to use a 301 if you’re joining two websites together.
How to Solve it?
Firstly Ensure that HTTP version redirects to HTTPS:
It is Important using HTTPS on the site as it can keep data of your visitors secure. Not only this but Google also uses HTTPS as a ranking signal.
To see if the 301 redirect works between your two versions, check the URL bar of your homepage. As it has https ahead of your Domain name
Remove 301 redirects from sitemap:
As you also know that Google reads your sitemap to crawl your website. Remove 301 Redirects from Sitemap:
- To find your 301 status codes and delete them, this is what you have to do:
- Go to thisisyourwebsite/sitemap.xml
- Use a URL Extractor to download a list of URLs.
- Filter the list with a 301 status code.
- Delete the 301 URLs from the sitemap file and replace them with the final URL.
Fix Redirect Loops:
A redirect loop is a loop that happens when one URL redirects users back to the other URLs in the chain. For example, Page 1➡️ Page 2➡️ Page 1➡️ Page 3.
If this is an issue, you’ll want to fix it as quickly as possible.
Once you find the redirect loops, you can fix them in two ways:
- Change the HTTPS response code to 200 if you don't want the URL to redirect.
- If the URL is supposed to redirect, then remove the loop and fix the final destination URL.
