Catch redirect loops before browsers and crawlers give up
Run a redirect loop checker to find circular redirect paths, repeated destinations and chains that never resolve to a stable final URL.
Redirect loops are easy to miss in configuration-heavy environments because each single rule can look correct in isolation while the combined path breaks in production.
What is a redirect loop?
A redirect loop happens when a redirect path leads back to a previously visited URL, so the browser or crawler keeps cycling instead of reaching a final destination.
Why are redirect loops bad for SEO?
Search engines cannot reliably crawl or consolidate signals through a loop. Users also hit browser errors, which makes the page effectively unavailable.
