    Hi all, I'm assigned a site in Magento. After the first craw, we found almost 15k 302 redirects.

    A sample URL ends with this /stores/store/switch/?SID=qdq9mf1u6afgodo1vtvk0ucdpb&___from_store=default&___store=german&uenc=aHR0cHM6Ly9qdWljeWZsdXRlcy5jb20vP19fX3N0b3JlPWdlcm1hbg%2C%2C

    And they are currently 302 redirecting to the homepage as well as other main pages and also product pages it seems.

    Some of these point to account pages where customers log in. Probably best for me to de-index those so no issues there.

    But I'm worried about the 302 redirects to public pages.

    The extension we have installed is SEO Suite Ultimate by MageWorx.

    Does anyone here have experience here specifically and how did you fix it?

    Thanks,

    JC

      It turned out to be a language extension. We took it out and fixed everything except for a couple of links. I'm opening a new question for those. Thanks for all your help!

        Look at the template, as this is the likely culprit making links to these 302 redirects. If they are not required, simply remove any references to the link on your template?

        If they are necessary links as you say, customer login etc - add a nofollow tag and de-index the page.

        Ensure you have self-referencing canonical tags on the pages with lots of parameters.

        You could also remove the a tag to something less SEO friendly to reduce your potential crawl budget ensuring that your non-vital (product/category) pages exhume more importance.

        If you have so many links/pages, they will get lost within all the nonsense.

          @lasclients Hello, you should debug the redirections in this case. Here's what you can do in Magento 2:

          If you face an unexpected 301 or 302 redirect in Magento 2 and you don't know why it happens or what code causes it, you can easily find this out by temporarily editing the following files:

          /vendor/magento/framework/HTTP/PhpEnvironment/Response.php
          /var/www/html/m2_35ee/vendor/magento/framework/Controller/Result/Redirect.php
          

          Open Response.php and add the following line to the beginning of the setRedirect function:

          var_dump($url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit();
          

          Example:

          public function setRedirect($url, $code = 302)
          {
              var_dump($url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit();
              $this->setHeader('Location', $url, true)
                  ->setHttpResponseCode($code);
          
              return $this;
          }
          

          Now you open the second Redirect.php file and add this:

          var_dump($this->url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit();
          

          After each line containing:

          $this->url =
          

          Example:

          public function setRefererUrl()
          {
               $this->url = $this->redirect->getRefererUrl();
               var_dump($this->url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit(); 
               return $this;
          }
          
          public function setRefererOrBaseUrl()
          {
               $this->url = $this->redirect->getRedirectUrl();
               var_dump($this->url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit(); 
               return $this;
          }
          
          public function setUrl($url)
          {
               $this->url = $url;
               var_dump($this->url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit(); 
               return $this;
          }
          
          public function setPath($path, array $params = [])
          {
               $this->url = $this->urlBuilder->getUrl($path, $this->redirect->updatePathParams($params));
               var_dump($this->url); \Magento\Framework\Debug::backtrace(false, true, false); exit(); 
               return $this;
          }
          

          Save the corresponding changes and open a page that causes an unexpected redirect. You should see a debug backtrace with the information about the code line causing the redirect.

          If you don't see it, it means that the redirect is not caused by Magento code, but the webserver settings, or the third-party module code that uses not-recommended Magento programming practices.

          Hope this helps!

            but its not written here how to redirect in my HTML 1 image url not the landing page.
            Screenshot 2023-12-15 at 11.02.40.png
            I have messaged to MOZ Support but they recommended to go for the MOZ Community!
            Screenshot 2023-12-15 at 11.06.02.png Could you assist me wit this issue please? I can reach HTTML of the necessary page and change what I need for permanent redirection but firstly I need to understand how to do that correctly.

            Our clients Magento 2 site has lots of obsolete categories. Advice on SEO best practice for setting server level redirects so I can delete them?

            magento nginx

            Our client's Magento website has been running for at least a decade, so has a lot of old legacy categories for Brands they no longer carry. We're looking to trim down the amount of unnecessary URL Redirects in Magento, so my question is: Is there a way that is SEO efficient to setup permanent redirects at a server level (nginx) that Google will crawl to allow us at some point to delete the categories and Magento URL Redirects? If this is a good practice can you at some point then delete the server redirects as google has marked them as permanent?

            Multilang site: Auto redirect 301 or 302?

            redirect 301 redirect 302 international seo

            We need to establish if 301 or 302 response code is to be used for our auto redirects based on Accept-Language header. https://domain.com
            30x > https://domain.com/en
            30x > https://domain.com/ru
            30x > https://domain.com/de The site architecture is set up with proper inline HREFLANG.
            We have read different opinions about this, Ahrefs says 302 is the correct one:
            https://ahrefs.com/blog/301-vs-302-redirects/
            302 redirect:
            "You want to redirect users to the right version of the site for them (based on location/language)." You could argue that the root redirect is never permanent as it varies based on user language settings (302)
            On the other hand, the lang specific redirects are permanent per language: IF Accept-Language header = en
            https://domain.com > 301 > https://domain.com/en
            IF Accept-Language header = ru
            https://domain.com > 301 > https://domain.com/ru So each of these is 'permanent'. So which is the correct?

            My homepage redirects to itself?

            Hi there - I'm not a SEO so help would be appreciated! Moz is telling me we have a redirect loop but the URLs are the same. https://www.example.com/ to https://www.example.com/ Why is my homepage creating a redirect loop to itself? We use Wordpress and I do not have any redirects listed for our homepage. Could this have something to do with switching to https in April? Thanks, Katherine

            Intermittent 404 - What causes them and how to fix?

            Hi! I'm working on a client site at the moment and I've discovered a couple of pages that are 404ing but producing a 200 OK response. However, I have checked these URLs again and some are now producing a 404 Error response. No changes have been made (that I'm aware of) so it appears that the URLs are returning both 200 OK and 404 Error responses intermittently. Any ideas what could cause this and the best solution? Thanks!

Dose anyone know how should i fix that? Thanks, Raviv evsGujA
