Resolving Redirect Loop: Removing Endless Loops
Forwarding loops prevent access, crawling and indexing.
Forwarding loops prevent access, crawling and indexing The error should never be assessed in isolation. What matters is which URL group is affected and whether it creates a crawling, indexing, snippet, performance or quality problem.
Seeking conflicting rules between systems
A loop can occur if the CDN forces HTTPS, but the application misinterprets the original connection state and redirects it back. Also opposing rules for slash or hostname are possible. Record the recurring addresses in their order.
Example: Recognizing the Result
Illustrative example: The application enforces HTTPS, but recognizes every request as HTTP behind the proxy. The browser is repeatedly sent to the same HTTPS URL.
Limit cause and implement correction
Correct the relevant rules and check the full public path. A successful direct call to the origin server is not enough if visitors continue to run via the CDN. Test additional registration and language change, as there own forwardings can be involved. Empty browser cache only for diagnosis; a real loop must be fixed on the server side.
What makes you recognize a suitable correction
Vote proxy trust, submitted scheme and application rules. A complete call chain must end with a final response.
Classification and boundaries
When is this indication not a clear error?
Do not switch forwarding rules off indiscriminately: The loop can be created by the interaction of two correct individual rules.
Redirect Loop after CMS and Cause
Many audit messages can be resolved faster if they are grouped by system, page type and technical cause. CMS indentations are only linked where Redirect Loop has a clear cause or fixed route in the respective system.
For this error, there is currently no own CMS deepening, because the correction is usually not sufficiently system-specific. Take advantage of the general causes and checks on this page.
