Redirect lands on an error page

CriticalDeveloper fixRedirectsPer-page checkredirect_to_error

What this means

This URL redirects, but the destination returns an error status. Every link and every ranking signal pointing at the original URL is lost, and the redirect masks the breakage from a surface-level status check.

How to fix it

Point the redirect at a live, relevant page — or remove the redirect and restore the original URL. Never redirect into a 404 or a 5xx.

Fix effort

This check needs a developer fix: it turns on a routing, hosting or infrastructure decision that no automatic edit can make safely.
