What this check finds

This page focuses on redirects in crawl context. The crawler records the fetched URL, response status, discovery source when available, metadata, redirect outcome, and history signals that explain why a finding appears.

Use the check to review redirect targets, terminal URLs, and redirect-related crawl signals. The goal is not just to report a problem, but to show the URL-level evidence needed to decide whether the issue is intentional, accidental, fixed, or still unresolved.

Why this check matters

Check where redirects end

Review the final URL and status instead of only the starting URL.

Find risky redirect behavior

Spot redirect targets that leave the expected scope or terminate in errors.

Compare after migrations

Use follow-up crawls to validate route changes and URL migrations.

How to fix and verify it

  1. Run a focused crawl. Start with the affected website or section and keep settings consistent for follow-up comparisons.
  2. Inspect the evidence. Review affected URLs, source pages, HTTP statuses, metadata values, and crawl lineage before making changes.
  3. Apply the smallest safe fix. Update the page, template, route, redirect rule, canonical tag, or internal link that caused the finding.
  4. Rerun the audit. Confirm that the finding is resolved and did not create a new issue elsewhere.

When to monitor it

Small technical issues become expensive when they remain invisible. For redirects, a repeatable crawl helps distinguish a one-time anomaly from a persistent problem caused by templates, redirects, routes, metadata, or content changes.

Start with the concrete evidence: affected URL, source page, HTTP status, metadata value, redirect target, or comparison row. After the fix is made, run another crawl with comparable settings to confirm the finding is resolved.

Frequently asked questions

What does this page check?

It checks redirect targets, terminal URLs, and redirect-related crawl signals and presents the result as summary counts plus URL-level evidence. That makes the audit useful for deciding what to fix and for verifying the result in a later crawl.

Will the audit start immediately after I enter a URL?

No. The URL is transferred to the crawler seed field so you can review scope, limits, redirects, and sitemap policy before starting.

Can this be monitored over time?

Yes. Registered users can create scheduled audits and review whether findings are new, resolved, or still unresolved across completed crawls.

Is this only for SEO?

No. The same findings are useful for site maintenance, release validation, migration checks, and general quality assurance.
