Runs just this check in quick mode. The report opens with the evidence and the fix.
Why it matters
Every hop adds latency for the crawler and for the visitor, and long chains dilute link signals. Loops make a page unreachable.
How to fix it
Point links directly at the final URL. Keep one redirect at most, from the old address to the canonical one.
