"Page with redirect" appears in the Excluded section of the Pages report. It means the URL Google found redirects to a different URL.
When Is This Expected?
- You have intentional 301 redirects (e.g., old blog posts redirecting to updated URLs)
- HTTP versions redirecting to HTTPS versions
- Non-www redirecting to www (or vice versa)
When Is This a Problem?
- Your sitemap contains redirecting URLs - Sitemaps should only include final destination URLs. Remove redirecting URLs from your sitemap.
- Important pages are unintentionally redirecting - Use the URL Inspection tool to trace where the redirect leads.
- Redirect chains - A redirects to B redirects to C. Simplify to a direct A → C redirect.
How to Fix
Update your sitemap to use the final destination URLs. For unintentional redirects, correct your server configuration or CMS redirect rules.
