Refresh the website after uninstalling each extension, so that you can see which one is causing the problem. If the website opens on another browser and not on Chrome, then try disabling your Chrome extensions one by one. In case this doesn’t work, try another browser. You should now be able to browse your website.

Under ‘Privacy and Security’, click on the clear browsing data option.

Click on the drop-down menu on the top right-hand corner and select settings.

Which is why the first step is to delete cache and cookies. If Webscoot is at a new location i.e., a new server, your browser might get confused as to which location is the right one. But now when you type in the above URL, Chrome will be redirected to. Your browser may have cached the website’s old location. One cause a redirect error might be that your browser cookies have cached old redirects.įor example, say you’ve visited the site before. This way, any users clicking on MageHost’s links that were already ranking on Google will be redirected to Webscoot.io, and we won’t lose our earlier traffic! In order to convey our new domain name to browsers, we added ‘permanent redirects’ from the old (MageHost) website, to the new one. This helps website owners transfer the SEO juice from their old domain to the new one.įor example, MageHost recently rebranded to Webscoot.io. One main reason website admins use 3XX redirects is because their websites have shifted to a new domain or URL. Chrome allows 20 such redirects before it starts showing the ‘err too many redirects’ message on your browser page. This is the loop we were talking about earlier. Sometimes, however, the pointed URL might redirect the browser back to the original link, which redirects it again and so on.

Chrome acknowledges this and goes to the pointed URL.

The server responds back with a 3XX redirect, pointing Chrome to another website URL.

Your browser (say Chrome) sends a GET request to a server for a webpage.

This is what happens when your browser is redirected: Redirects occur when you click on a certain link or type in a certain URL in your browser’s search bar, and are pointed to a different URL.

The err_too_many_redirects is a 3XX HTTP redirect error that occurs when a browser is trying to locate a website and is stuck in an infinite loop. Talking about the error classes of 4XX and 5XX statuses is beyond the scope of this article. You might have come across an ‘error 404’ or an ‘error 502’ many times in your life. Mostly errors are in the class of 3XX, 4XX, and 5XX status response. If not, then the server sends back an ‘error’ as a response. If the web page is found, the server sends a ‘200 OK’ response.

Once the server is located, the browser requests our web page and the server sends a response. Whenever we enter a URL in our browser’s search bar, it tries to locate the server where our requested website is hosted.
