Why This Matters

LLM Discoverability

Long redirect chains consume crawl budget and can cause AI crawlers to follow an incomplete path, resulting in the final destination page being indexed under the wrong canonical URL.

SEO Impact

Each redirect hop passes diminished link equity; chains of 3+ redirects lose PageRank, and Googlebot's crawl budget is wasted resolving intermediary URLs.
