Welcome to the Q&A Forum

On the crawl of our website we have had a warning that 157 have urls that are too long.

When I look at the urls they are generally from 2016 or earlier. Should I just leave them as they are or shorten the urls and redirect to new url?

Thanks

Hi All,

I have a question I hope someone can help me with.

I ran a scan on a website and it has a stack of urls that are far too long. I am going through and changing the urls to shorter ones. But my question is regarding redirections.

Wordpress seems to be automatically redirecting the old urls to the new ones, should i be adding a more solid 301 in as well or is the wordpress redirect enough?

I ask as they dont all seem to stay redirecting

Thanks in advance for  the help

This is resolved, we found a plugin was automatically creating 301s when a url is changed
