redirect chains increase load on google and browsers. keep redirects to max 2-3 levels. if more, point directly to the final destination.

http browsers follow max 5-6 redirects. if more, the request might fail.

There's also a measurement aspect to this. honestly any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

Good luck with that.

I have no experience with redirect chain, so I'm asking. People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.

Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

If I understood correctly you're saying: Everyone rushing into redirect chain gets stuck at the same point.

The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on. This is my opinion I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

there's a common mistake people make when doiing this. like if you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.

i'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

Let me summarize the topic, since several different answers were given. Processes without records never improve because you don't know what to fix.

Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Three different views emerged, they all complement each other. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

If it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later. Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

I have an objection here. If you dont write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

Good luck with that.

I partly agree, partly disagree. Updating an existing page yields faster results than creating a new one.

Hope this helps.

thanks for writing this that's the right way. the harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you shoud make it.

if you post the result here, it will help others too.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

My perspective changed after experiencing that. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

Proven by experience.

We need to make a distinction here. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

Absolutely. If I were to add anything: Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

Good luck with that.
