Page with redirectUsually fine

“Page with redirect” in Google Search Console: what it means and how to fix it

The URL redirects to another URL, so Google doesn't index it and indexes the destination instead. That's what redirects are for, like http to https, www to non-www, or an old slug to a new one, so it's usually fine. It's worth a look only when a redirect is a mistake or the destination isn't indexed.

What Google says

This is a non-canonical URL that redirects to another page, so it won't be indexed. The page it redirects to may or may not be indexed.

Paraphrased from Google's Page indexing report help

Causes

Why it happens

01http to https, or www to non-www, redirects.
02Trailing slash redirects.
03Old slugs redirected after a post was renamed.
04Your sitemap or internal links still point to the old URLs.

Triage

Is it a problem?

Ignore it if

The URLs are old or alternate addresses that should redirect.

Fix it if

A page you want indexed redirects by mistake.

The redirect goes through several hops, or loops.

Your sitemap lists redirecting URLs.

Fix

How to fix “Page with redirect”

Check any single URL with URL Inspection. After fixing, open the issue in the Page indexing report and click Validate fix; Google says it typically takes up to about two weeks.

  1. 1
    Check where it goesRun URL Inspection on the destination, or use curl -I -L on the URL to see each hop.
  2. 2
    Make sure the destination is indexedIf it isn't, look up the destination's own status. That's the page that needs attention.
  3. 3
    Update your sitemap and linksList only final URLs in the sitemap and point internal links straight at them. It saves Google a hop and sends a clearer signal.
  4. 4
    Fix chains and loopsPoint every old URL straight to the final URL in one 301. Chains slow crawling, and loops never resolve.

FAQ

Questions about “Page with redirect”

Usually not. Only if a page you want indexed is redirecting by mistake, or the destination isn't indexed.

Use 301 for permanent moves like a renamed post or a domain change. Use 302 only for temporary ones.

Because they redirect to https. That's expected, and Google indexes the https version.
