Limit the findings in TYPO3
Check successive rules from site configuration, redirect management, and web server. Several plausible rules together can form an unnecessary chain.
Where to check the setting in TYPO3
Compare entries in EXT:redirects with the rules of the web server or reverse proxy. Document each hop from the old URL to the final destination. Summarize only those rules that retain language context, parameters, and target content; do not change active links to intermediate destinations.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: http://www.example.org/alt leads first to HTTPS, then without www and finally to the new path. Three steps lead to the same final content.
follow-up audit in TYPO3
Normalization and relocation as far as possible to match a suitable final destination. Check multiple entry-level variants and query parameters after the change.
Derogations and scope
A chain is not automatically a loop. Individual necessary external transitions can remain.
Reference: TYPO3 13.4 with EXT:seo. For other major versions and own extensions, responsibilities may differ; check the actually installed output.
