Internal links point at redirects
What this means
Links on this page target URLs that answer with a 3xx rather than the final destination. Every one of them costs the crawler an extra request before it reaches real content, and the redirect hop dilutes the link equity that should have flowed straight through. On a large site the wasted hops add up to a measurable share of crawl budget.
How to fix it
Rewrite each href to the URL the redirect actually resolves to, so the link points at a 200 response with no intermediate hop. Leave the redirects in place for external inbound traffic — this is about the links you control.
Fix effort
This check needs review: the change can be drafted for you, but a person has to approve the wording or choose the target before it ships.
