Why is it necessary to check the redirect chain? Impact on SEO

Redirect chains affect SEO and UX in many ways: Each redirect adds latency (100-500ms), slowing down page load. Google may not follow too many redirects, leading to the page not being indexed. Link juice (PageRank) is reduced with each redirect (~10-15% per hop). Redirect loops cause errors and the page cannot load. Best practice: Keep the redirect chain under 3 hops. Use 301 (permanent) instead of 302 (temporary) when possible. Redirect directly to the final URL, avoiding chain A→B→C, so A→C. This tool helps you audit redirects and detect problems.
