Redirection and 301

    Good day,
    I have an issue I believe is caused due to RankMath.

    On a daily basis, my server stalls. I discovered that´s cause due to 301 messages.
    Some visitors land on a location that´s long been deleted. It triggers a redirect, that lands in an infintiy loop. Thus causes a server stall.

    I already removed all my redirections in RankMath. Yet the redirections keep on happening.
    How can I permantnly remove those redirections?

  • Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the redirections causing server stalls. It sounds frustrating to deal with infinite loops and persistent redirects.

    To permanently remove unwanted redirections, please follow these steps:

    1. Check Existing Redirections: Go to Rank Math SEO → Redirections in your WordPress dashboard. Ensure that there are no lingering redirection rules that might still be active.

    2. Clear Cache: If you are using any caching plugins or server-side caching, clear the cache to ensure that old redirection rules are not being served from the cache.

    3. Review .htaccess File: Sometimes, redirects can be set up in the .htaccess file. Check this file for any redirect rules that may be causing the issue and remove them if necessary.

    4. Debugging: Use Rank Math’s debugging features to trace the redirects. This can help identify where the unwanted redirects are coming from. You can find more information on this in our guide on solving redirection issues.

    5. Check for Other Plugins: Ensure that no other plugins are creating redirects that could conflict with Rank Math settings.

    If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to resolve it quickly!

    Jeremy,

    I did not manage to find a solution so I blocked all redirects on the host instead. So you can close this for the time being.
