How many hops are acceptable in a redirect?

Google recommends avoiding redirect chains and keeping redirects to a single hop (A -> B). Crawlers may stop following chains after 4-5 hops.

What is the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?

A 301 redirect is permanent and passes 90-99% of link authority. A 302 redirect is temporary and does not pass ranking authority long-term.

What is a redirect loop?

A redirect loop is a circular routing error (e.g., A redirects to B, which redirects back to A). This causes an error page and prevents access.

Q: What is a redirect chain?

A redirect chain occurs when a URL redirects to another URL, which then redirects to another (e.g., A -> B -> C). This slows load time and hurts SEO.
