If you see the notification "Page with redirection" in your Google Search Console report, this means a page with a redirected URL has been found on your website.


This also means Google hasn't indexed the affected page, which can have two possible causes:

  1. Google may have encountered the URL before and is attempting to avoid duplicate results.
  2. Google has detected errors on the page.



Possible causes for the "redirect" notification:

  • You recently upgraded from the free version of Webador to a premium plan. In this case, your free Webador subdomain is redirecting to your new domain name.
  • The URL's redirect chain is too long.
  • The redirect URL is too long.
  • It's a redirect from the HTTP version to the HTTPS version of your website.
  • It's a redirect from https://mywebsite.com to https://www.mywebsite.com
  • The redirect chain's URL is incorrect.


Example:

You previously had a page on your website called News, with the URL mywebsite.com/news, but you recently changed the page name to Blog, making the URL mywebsite.com/blog. If you still have a page on your menu called News, with the URL mywebsite.com/news, this can impact internal links. Take care when renaming pages to avoid encountering this notification too often.


How can I fix this?

It's important to ensure that the URL with a redirect is correct. You can do this by re-submitting the URL for indexing via Google's URL Inspection Tool.


You may also see an error message regarding the sitemap. To resolve this you can submit the sitemap again via Google Search Console.
