Redirects with bot hits

All pages that are redirecting but still receive google bot hits.

Priority: Low

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

Search engines are using crawl budget to crawl pages that are redirecting to other pages, which may mean that crawl budget is being wasted.

How do you fix it​

You should investigate these pages to see if they are being linked internally and included in Sitemaps, and potentially update any links that are pointing to them so they go directly to the final redirect target instead.

What is the positive impact​

Fixing these redirecting pages may result in improved crawl budget which means that search engines can discover, index and/or update your important pages faster and more frequently.

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 GetReportForCrawl($crawlId: ObjectID!, $reportTemplateCode: String!) {
  getCrawl(id: $crawlId) {
    reportsByCode(
      input: {
        reportTypeCodes: Basic
        reportTemplateCodes: [$reportTemplateCode]
      }
    ) {
      rows {
        nodes {
          ... on CrawlUrls {
            pageTitle
            url
            foundAtUrl
            deeprank
            level
            logRequestsTotal
            httpStatusCode
            indexable
            duplicatePage
            foundInGoogleAnalytics
            foundInGoogleSearchConsole
            foundInBacklinks
            foundInList
            foundInLogSummary
            foundInWebCrawl
            foundInSitemap
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
