JavaScript Redirects

Pages which, when rendered, were redirected to another URL by JavaScript.

Priority: Low

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

These redirects require the page to be rendered by search engines which may take longer to be processed than a server-side redirect. Google recommends using server-side redirects instead of JavaScript redirects if possible.

If the search engines are having issues rendering the pages, the redirect may not be seen at all.

How do you fix it​

Configure server-side redirects instead of JavaScript redirects.

What is the positive impact​

Search engines will process the redirects more quickly.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

query GetReportStatForCrawl(
    $crawlId: ObjectID!
    $reportTemplateCode: String!
    $after: String
   ) {
      getReportStat(
        input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
      ) {
        crawlUrls(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
          nodes {
            url
            redirectChain
            redirectedToUrl
            foundAtUrl
            httpStatusCode
            deeprank
            level
            redirectedToStatusCode
            redirectCount
            foundInGoogleAnalytics
            foundInGoogleSearchConsole
            foundInBacklinks
            foundInList
            foundInLogSummary
            foundInWebCrawl
            foundInSitemap
          }
          totalCount
          pageInfo {
            endCursor
            hasNextPage
          }
        }

   }
