    Hi guys,

    Great plugin! What exactly is the Redirects problem? I have 864 Redirects in the scan and I’m wondering should I just unlink them all. Are they useful, or do they mostly work against SEO? Cheers, Kris

    Hi @krisolin

    I hope you are doing well today.

    Redirects report only for external URLs. If any word in your content page point from your domain1 to domain 2.

    Example:
    your domain: domain.com
    your page: domain.com/aboutus
    text: Lorem ipsum….

    ipsum is linked to google.com

    They are useful for your clients if you redirect in your article to domain 2 with some solution. It should not work against SEO.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris

    Thank you for your reply, Kris!

    It seems most of these redirects are http URL’s and redirecting to their https counterparts. Should I manually fix the http URL’s or just leave them?

    Hi @krisolin,

    I’m not able to find much information on whether having an external http link on a page has any impact on SEO. However, in general, the best practice would be to ensure the URLs have https.
