Redirect chains can occur when there are multiple redirects configured for a single URL, leading to a series of redirects before reaching the final destination. This can sometimes cause issues such as slower page loading times or SEO penalties.
To troubleshoot and resolve the redirect chains error on your WordPress website, you can follow these steps:
Check .htaccess file: Sometimes, redirects are configured directly in the .htaccess file of your website. You can access this file via FTP or File Manager in your web hosting control panel. Look for any redirect rules and make sure there are no unnecessary or conflicting redirects.
WordPress Plugins: While you've checked the redirection list in your plugin, it's worth double-checking all installed plugins for any that might be causing unwanted redirects. Deactivate plugins one by one and test to see if the issue resolves.
Theme Functions: Some WordPress themes may have custom functions that handle redirects. Review your theme's functions.php file for any redirect-related code and ensure it's configured correctly.
Check WordPress Settings: In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Settings > General and ensure that the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) fields are correctly set to
Browser Cache: Clear your browser cache or try accessing your website in a different browser to ensure the redirect issue isn't caused by cached redirects.
SEO Plugins: If you're using an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO or Rank Math, check their settings for any configured redirects and ensure they're set up correctly.
Server Configuration: Sometimes, redirects can be configured at the server level. If you have access to server configuration files (such as Apache's httpd.conf), check for any redirects configured there.
Search for Hardcoded URLs: Review your website's content and template files for any hardcoded URLs that might be causing unintentional redirects.
WordPress Debugging: Enable WordPress debugging to see if any errors related to redirects are being logged. You can do this by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:
sql
Copy code
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
Consult with a Developer: If you're unable to identify the cause of the redirect chains or if you're uncomfortable making changes to your website's code, consider consulting with a WordPress developer or technical support for further assistance.By systematically checking these potential sources of redirects, you should be able to identify and resolve the redirect chains error on your WordPress website.

When you redirect too many times in a row, Google stops following your redirects, which is known as a redirect chain. These are what are known as networked web difficulties that affect users' experiences, cause problems for search engines, and affect your page rankings. It's important to address redirect chains as soon as possible because they might affect both SEO and site performance. This problem reports URLs that lead to multiple redirections.

Setting Up Ecommerce Functionalty for the First Time
Morning Mozers!
Technical SEO | | CheapyPP
We are running up against a technical url structure issue with the addition of eCommerce pages . We are hoping you can point us in the right direction. We operate a printing company so all our current product info page are structured like: website/printing/business-cards
website/printing/rackcards
website/printing/etc The ecommerce functionality needs to go into a sub folder but the question is what should we name it? this how the urls would look like in the main category and product pages
/business-cards
/business-cards/full-uv-coaing-both-sides we were thinking either going with /order
website/order/business-cards
website/order/business-cards/full-uv-coaing-both-sides or maybe shop/ or/print-order/ etc Any ideas or suggestions?0 -
Searchability Strategy
We recently had a technical SEO audit carried out and it highlighted how many clicks it took to get to many of our pages (more than 4)). Does anyone have advice on how to create a structure for our pages to avoid this or recommend any articles I can read?

For an e-commerce product category page that has several funnels to specific products, for SEO purposes does it matter whether the category page's overview content is above or below those funnels?
We manage an e-commerce site. On a category page, there are several funnels to specific products. We moved the category overview content below those funnels to make it easier for users to quickly get to products. Seems more user friendly to me, but could that move of the main content to the lower part of the page be a negative ranking factor?

Duplicate Page Titles in Crawl Errors (although Google is rewriting in serps ??)
Hi Im working on a client/project and crawl report is showing thousands of dupe page titles In the case of the blog/news section its aprox 50 since aprox 50 posts and they all have the same meta-title: "Brand News | Brand" as opposed to: "Title Unique to Page/Topic/KW Relating to Content | Brand" Since these are the main content pages we want to rank (in addition to the main site category pages) then i have instructed dev must prioritise populating these pages meta-titles with the actual post/article titles, as per the latter version of the above example. (I should mention that i have requested they fix all dupe titles but main content pages are the priority). Whilst this will reduce the number of dupe titles in crawl error/warning report which is a good thing, is it actually likely to increase the ranking of these news/content pages given that Google does seem to be rewriting the titles correctly in the serps based on the page content ? Many Thanks in advance for your input

My website is saying I have duplicate page content and page title. How do I fix it?
Hi, I created a website on webstarts.com. After I launched it then ran a scan through SEO it says I have duplicate page content and page title. The 2 pages it is reading are technically the same page. www.mobilemowermedicsinc.com and www.mobilemowermedicsinc.com/index . I am unsure how to get rid of on of these as it keeps saying this is an error in the SEO scan. Could someone please advise me of what to do from here. Thanks!
