Detect and resolve chained redirects

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 6 October 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem / Motivation

Currently, some sites have chained redirects (5-6 consecutive redirects), especially after content deletion.
This causes performance issues, affects proper URL indexing, and complicates redirect maintenance.

We need functionality that can:

  • Detect chained redirects.
  • Create a direct redirect from the first URL to the last URL in the chain.
  • Remove intermediate redirects.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create several consecutive redirects: A → B → C → D.
  2. Access the initial URL (A) and observe that the chain of redirects still exists.
  3. Notice that the final redirect is not direct and multiple intermediate jumps occur.

Proposed resolution

  1. Create a Drupal service that encapsulates the logic to detect and resolve chained redirects.
  2. Create an auxiliary table to store redirect entity IDs with status: processed / unprocessed.
  3. Add an administration form for manual management.
