We often see people getting different types of errors on Google Search Console while managing a site including "Redirect Error".

BUT you don't have to worry about it because we found its solution. In this article you will find out how to fix Google Search Console Error: Redirect Error.

Reason for getting "Redirect Error" in Search Console​

Generally, it means that the page could not be accessed by the Google bot because it redirects to a page that doesn’t exist. The study says it’s best to set up a 301 redirect to a new page when you move/remove a page on your site to tell the web browser that the page has moved.

Main causes of Redirect error:

• There is a redirect chain that is too long (more than 3)
• There is a redirect loop which is making "A" points to "B" and "B" points to "A".
• There is a bad or empty URL in the redirect chain

How to fix it?​

Just take a brief review of all of your redirects and ensure there is only a single redirect whenever possible. Make sure all of reasons are clearly discussed above. You can use Chrome Extension “Ayima” which is a great tool to it.
