Frequently Asked Questions
A redirect chain is the sequence of URLs a browser follows to reach the final destination. Multiple redirects (chains) slow down page loading and can hurt SEO. Ideally, keep redirects to a maximum of one hop to maintain good site performance.
Some websites serve different content or redirect differently based on the user agent (browser or device type). Testing with mobile, desktop, and bot user agents helps ensure your redirects work correctly for all visitors and search engine crawlers.
301 is a permanent redirect (best for SEO), 302 is a temporary redirect, 307 preserves the request method, and 308 is a permanent redirect that preserves the method. Status 200 means the final page loaded successfully, while 404 indicates the page was not found.
