Redirections are used by all websites at some time. Unfortunately, you will most likely see the "Too Many Redirects" problem while exploring the web. Although it is a regular occurrence, there are several causes.

This makes troubleshooting a headache for both experts and novices. The good news is that, while many things might go wrong, all of the remedies are rather easy; it's simply a matter of identifying the appropriate one.

What is the "too many redirects" error?

This error happens when a website becomes caught in a redirection loop. This simply implies that one redirect takes the user to another, which brings them back to the initial redirect. I realize it's confusing, but it's a significant issue.

To make matters worse, the actual error message you receive is totally dependent on the web browser you're using.

• Google Chrome reports "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" or "This webpage has a redirect loop."
• Mozilla Firefox shows the message "The page isn't redirecting properly."
• Microsoft Edge displays the message "This page isn't working right now."
• Safari displays the message "Safari Can't Open the Page." (Probably the most ineffective message of all)

How to Fix the "Too Many Redirects" Error

Method 1: Clear your cache.

We understand you've probably tried hitting the "Refresh" button, however there is a better method to perform it.

If you use the Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Command + Shift + R (Mac) shortcut, your net browser will refresh at the same time as ignoring your website's cache. The difficulty might arise when your browser tries to load an old model of your website stored in the cache.

If the difficulty persists, it shows that your web browser's cache isn't the source of the hassle, therefore visit the following step. However, if the fault fixes itself after doing this, then it's the problem.

Method 2: Clear your cookies.

A common misunderstanding is that caching and cookies are the same thing. They're not. Cache retains information from pages, such as graphics, but cookies keep surfing history, allowing you to log in fast or receive product suggestions

The only thing they have in common is that they may be the source of the redirect problem, but it is a simple solution.

Method 3: Clear the server's cache.

The last two techniques required you to erase your web browser's cache and cookies. This suggests that the problem does not originate with the user, making it more difficult to resolve. The next thing you should do is clean your web server's cache.

Similar to browser cache, it is very conceivable that your web server is retaining outdated data, which might result in the "Too Many Redirects" issue.

There are two basic methods for clearing your server's cache. The first option is to accomplish it manually, while the second involves the use of a plugin. For simplicity, it is recommended to utilize a plugin. It's considerably simpler, because you've probably already installed a cache plugin.

Method 4: Identify and Fix Redirect Loops.

It's time to take a more direct approach. We'll try to determine if your website has a redirect loop, but this can be challenging.

Specifically, some websites may have hundreds of redirects set up. This can make individually verifying each one time-consuming. Fortunately, there are technologies that can help us accomplish this much faster.

Method 5: Check your SSL installation.

Nowadays, all websites should have SSL certificates. In most circumstances, your web host may install it for you when you create a new account.

However, if you add one to an existing website, things might quickly go wrong if it is not installed correctly.

For example, if you do not install your SSL certificate, you will receive the "Too Many Redirections" problem when your URL changes. Of course, it is possible that you just installed it incorrectly. Fortunately, there are several free tools available to help.
