Resource URL in Chained Redirect Loop

No Comments

Quick Reference

Element Code: RE-008

Issue: Page resource goes through multiple redirects forming a loop

Impact: Resource cannot load due to circular redirect chain

Fix: Break the redirect loop by fixing or removing problematic rules

Detection: Browser DevTools, Screaming Frog

What Is This Issue?

A redirect chain that circles back on itself prevents resources from ever loading. This requires tracing the full chain to find where it loops.

Why This Matters for Your Website

Redirect loops completely block resource loading. Essential CSS or JS may never load.

How to Fix This Issue

  1. Trace full chain: Map all redirects
  2. Find the loop: Where does it circle back?
  3. Break the loop: Fix or remove problematic redirects

Tools for Detection

  • DevTools Network: Shows redirect chain

TL;DR (The Simple Version)

A resource goes through a redirect chain that loops back on itself. Trace the chain and break the loop.
