Each redirect causes search engines to issue another request to find the destination URL. This means that the more redirects implemented in a row or across a website, the greater impact this will have on crawl budget. If the majority of a website’s crawl budget is taken up by redirects, priority pages on your website will be crawled less often, or not at all. This can also lead to a longer time being taken for a full crawl of the site, which will reduce the freshness of the website’s pages in a search engine’s index.
