What does it mean when a website redirects you?
Redirections work pretty much the same way for search engines. They send search engines from one particular URL to another. Website owners often set up redirects for pages that are broken, contain duplicated content, or were moved to new URLs. This way, users and search engines access the most relevant or current page.
Why do I keep getting redirected to websites?
Introduction. A Google Chrome redirect loop error occurs when the owner of a website changes their website URL (address) and the old one redirects you to the new one. Because this could be used maliciously, Google gives you an error when you try to reach the site.
Can you get a virus from a website redirect?
Yes, the browser redirect virus is also known as browser hijacker. It targets Google and other search engines to redirect the user to fake and other infected websites.
Are redirects safe?

Can I remove redirects?

Why do I get a redirect notice?

Use a website safety checker

What causes Safari redirects?
If you experience unwanted redirects, it is possible that PUAs are installed on the browser or computer. Check the list of installed apps, such as extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins on the browser and remove all suspicious, unwanted entries immediately. Also apply this to programs installed on your computer.
Why does Safari keep saying too many redirects?
Occasionally, the page will not open on an individual phone, and Safari will display the message, “Could not open the page, too many redirects.” Cached data stored in Safari is part of the issue. Closing the relevant Safari tab usually solves the problem. The webpage should now work when the page is re-opened.
