Why is Google giving me Page with Redirect error when trying to index the page?

Why is Google giving me Page with Redirect error when trying to index the page? - If a page has internal and external outgoing links to redirecting URLs, it’s returning 3xx (301, 302, etc.) HTTP status codes standing for redirection. This issue means that the page does not exist on a permanent or temporary basis. It appears on most of the popular web browsers, usually caused by a misconfigured website. However, there are some steps you can take to ensure the issue isn’t on your side. You can find more details about redirecting URLs by reading the Google Search Central overview. In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the Why is Google giving me Page with Redirect error when trying to index the page? error on your web browser. Problem :

I'm trying to index a landing page through the Google Search Console. The result I get is error Page with redirect: The URL is a redirect, and therefore was not added to the index. The error explanation which Google gives is:

If you link to an old version of a URL that redirects to a new one,
Google will still detect that URL and include it in the Coverage
Report. Consider updating any link using the old version of the URL so
search engines aren’t forced to go through a redirect to discover your
content.

I have not created any redirects for the page and when I used redirect-checker.org I got: CONGRATULATION. Everything seems to be fine. There is no old version of the URL.

The page was created with WordPress.

Can you throw any light on this?

Solution :

Note that Googlebot sees the following entries differently:

1. http://example.com


2. https://example.com


3. http://www.example.com


4. https://www.example.com

If you are trying to list for example 1., but your site uses by default https like in 2. then you got a redirect when you open 1.

Can you provide your website URL to give you a better answer?
