WordPress redirects are taking too long to navigate: Anyone ever faced this?

[vtmoz]

Hi community,

We are using wordpress website. We have redirected hundreds of URLs from wordpress redirect manager for last 10 years around. Suddenly from last one week, the redirects are taking too long to navigate to the pages; like around 1 minute. Could you anybody face the same issue? Please help me on this.

Thanks

Hi Vtmoz

It's probable that you have a new plugin which is conflicting with this one. A simple solution is to disable the newer plugins one by one and keet testing the 301 redirect plugin, clearing the cache after each disable before you do.

If nothing works and updating the plugin doesn't work, copy all of the redirects in two columns into a spreadsheet. Then add 'Redirect 301' in the first column and then add them to the htaccess file manually (The best way anyway) like this. You will need ftp access or server side file access to see the htaccess in some cases.

Redirect 301 /old-url https://yourdomain.com/new-url

Note the source URL has no http and the destination one does!

So try the first solution and if it doesn't work do the second. It should be quite straightforward to copy and paste them.
