Clean up redirect chains
Collapse multi-hop redirects down to a single hop.
Why this matters
Each extra redirect leaks a little ranking strength and adds load time. One clean hop preserves both.
✓ How to do it
- Find redirect chains in your crawl.
- Point the first URL directly at the final destination.
- Remove unnecessary intermediate redirects.
