URL redirects<\/a> are necessary when you need to change the addresses of a website page permanently or temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as a result, sometimes your website can get stuck in a redirection loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this happens, you may face the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error, preventing you from accessing specific pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem usually lies within your website, browser, server, or third-party plugins or programs. Fortunately, redirection issues can typically be fixed by following a troubleshooting workflow.  When you know what to do to diagnose the cause of the error, you can solve it relatively quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019ll look at common causes of the \u201ctoo many redirects\u201d error, both on-site and off-site, and how to fix each. Plus, we\u2019ll explain how to prevent the problem from happening again in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Causes ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS In WordPress?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201ctoo many redirects\u201d error happens when your WordPress website gets stuck in an infinite redirect loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A redirect loop<\/a> is when a web server repeatedly sends a browser to the same page over and over, preventing it from loading the intended page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When this continues, your browser may trigger the error and fail to load the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This error looks different depending on the browser you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in Google Chrome, it usually says something like \u201cThis page isn\u2019t working,\u201d stating too many redirects as the issue and showing the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use Mozilla Firefox, the error usually reads as \u201cThe page isn\u2019t redirecting properly.\u201d It usually displays as \u201cSafari Can\u2019t Open the Page\u201d for Safari users and will let you know the reason is because of too many redirects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some other common WordPress errors<\/a>, the \u201ctoo many redirects\u201d issue doesn\u2019t usually solve itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you\u2019ll need to troubleshoot the origins of the problem to fix it. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
