redirect_audit

Redirect Audit provides detailed technical reports on redirect chains and loops in your Drupal site. It helps site builders, SEO specialists, and administrators identify and fix redirect issues that impact performance and search rankings.

The module automatically detects multi-step redirect chains (A→B→C) and loops (A→B→A), providing tools to resolve them with a single click.

It is especially useful for site migrations, SEO audits, performance optimization, and ongoing maintenance.

• Automated detection of redirect chains and loops
• Visual dashboard showing complete redirect paths
• One-click bulk fix for all detected chains
• Queue-based processing for large redirect databases
• Configurable scan depth (5-50 levels)
