    Hi,

    Apologies in advance, I have read many other articles and I still do not understand exactly what I need to do to resolve this problem.

    I have a ‘Page has links to redirect’ for every single page/post/tag/category on my website according to my Ahrefs Site Audit report.

    Also, on Google Console, none of my pages are showing as indexed, which I understand could be to do with the redirects?

    Any advice on where to get started would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Maz

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I have a ‘Page has links to redirect’ for every single page/post/tag/category on my website according to my Ahrefs Site Audit report.

    Unfortunately you’ve left out vital information from the report we need to enable us assist you.

    The redirect is FROM where, and TO where? Can you give the exact URLs of one FROM/TO case? Or can you quote a full section of the report detailing one instance of the redirect?

    Thanks for clarifying what I needed to provide.

    Below are the first 5 of 25 on the report (the entirety of my website so far) and all have ‘Internal outlinks to 3xx‘ to https://www.malenis.co.uk/

    1. https://malenis.co.uk/category/worldwide-travel/australia/ 
    2. https://malenis.co.uk/blogs/

    Many thanks for your help

    I checked all the 5 links you provided, and I don’t see a single redirection to https://www.malenis.co.uk/ or to anywhere else. They all return HTTP status code 200, not 3xx.

    My guess is that you may be testing the “wrong” URL. Your site’s address is https://malenis.co.uk/. So if you ask a tool to scan https://www.malenis.co.uk/ or http://www.malenis.co.uk/ or http://malenis.co.uk/ (none of which is your configured or canonical site address), then ALL the URLs will appear redirected. If this is the case, then the problem would not be the redirection. The problem would be that you’re testing the wrong site address.

    I don’t have an Ahref account and can’t run a report on their site. If there’s a way you can provide a public access to your report, I could take a look to see what’s really going on in that report.

    If not, put one of your links into this redirect checker: https://www.redirect-checker.org/index.php
    … and copy and paste everything in the “HTTP Headers” box (black background with green text) here for me to check.

    Hi,

    Many thanks for your response again.

    The link you provided returns the following for every website, and this is the example of one of them:

    Searched: https://www.malenis.co.uk/southend-city-jam

    CONGRATULATION. Everything seems to be fine.

    https://www.malenis.co.uk/southend-city-jam
    301 Moved Permanently
    https://malenis.co.uk/southend-city-jam/
    200 OK

    If I run the same URL on URL Inspection on Google Console, it shows Google not indexing and there being a redirect error:
