No redirect links
What the check finds
Internal links point at redirects instead of final URLs, so every crawl of this page pays for the extra hops.
Why it matters for AI answers
Each redirect adds a hop that crawlers must spend time on. AI crawlers fetch a limited number of pages, so direct links help them reach more content.
How to fix it
- Find internal links that return a 301 or 302 with a crawl tool.
- Update each link to point straight at the final URL.
- Check navigation, footer and sitemap links first, since they appear on every page.
