Frequently Asked Questions

How many redirect hops are acceptable?

Ideally, every URL should resolve in a single redirect hop. Two hops are tolerable in some CMS setups, but chains of three or more should be flattened to protect page speed and crawl efficiency.

Should I use 301 or 302 redirects?

Use 301 for permanent moves like domain migrations or URL restructuring. Use 302 only for temporary changes where the original URL will return. Misusing 302 for permanent moves can prevent search engines from transferring ranking signals.

When should I run a redirect check?

Always run one immediately after a site migration, HTTPS rollout, or bulk URL change. Also scan periodically to catch redirect rules added by plugins or server configs that create chains over time.
