Security finding
A link leads to a domain that redirects to a different domain
Security Info Severity: Low
Part of the audit Outbound link safety. Finding id: security.outboundRedirectsElsewhere.
What it costs you
If the old domain now belongs to someone else, they decide where your visitors end up. If it is a rebrand, the link only needs updating.
What to do
Open the link. If the destination is what you meant, link to it directly. If not, replace or remove the link.
What it checks
- Link ends up on a different domain
How to fix it
Link to the final address or remove the link
- Open [target url] in a browser and look where it ends.
- If the destination is right, put [final url] in the link. If it is not what you linked to, remove the link.
How to check: Recrawl: the link is not a redirect to another domain.
