Steps to verify
- Find repeated URLs.
- Identify who controls each rule.
- Retest from the starting URL.
How to interpret the result
A repeated URL is a loop clue. Limits or request conditions can also stop inspection, so read the message and prior steps.
Deciding what to do next
Review server rules when schemes or trailing slashes reverse each other. Inspect the full chain to avoid creating another loop.
Feature scope
Follow bounded HTTP redirects of public URLs, without reproducing JavaScript or meta refresh navigation or certifying destination safety.
Frequently asked questions
Does stopped inspection always mean a loop?
No. Distinguish timing, hop limits and access errors too.
