Fix the URLs not followed error

The URLs not followed error typically indicates that Google can’t completely process your sitemap because some of URLs contain too many redirects for Google web crawlers to follow. We suggest that you replace each URL redirecting to another page with the URL that the redirect is pointing to (the destination URL).
The following list describes some additional reasons a redirect could not be followed along with possible solutions:
  • Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, since many search engines see your site much as Lynx would. If features such as Javascript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then simple search engine spiders might have trouble crawling your site.
  • If you are permanently redirecting from one page to another, you can use a permanent redirect; although, you should avoid using JavaScript or meta-refresh type redirects.
  • Where possible, use absolute or complete links rather than relative links. For instance, when linking to another page in your site, link to https://www.example.com/mypage.html rather than simply mypage.html.
