How can I remove the redirected URLs that are appearing in the Google Search Console for my Webflow website?
If you're seeing redirected URLs in the Google Search Console for your Webflow website, it means that there are URLs on your site that have been permanently redirected to new locations. To remove these redirected URLs from appearing in the Google Search Console, you can follow these steps:
Identify the redirected URLs: First, you need to identify the specific URLs that are being redirected. This can be done by looking at the "Crawl Errors" or "Coverage" sections in the Google Search Console. Look for any URLs that are marked as "Redirect" or that have a 301 or 302 status code.
Check the redirects setup: Once you have identified the redirected URLs, you need to check the redirect setup in your Webflow site's hosting settings. Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the project settings. Go to the Hosting tab and click on the "Redirects" section. Here, you can see all the redirection rules set up for your site.
Remove or modify the redirects: You have a couple of options to remove or modify the redirects for the redirected URLs:
Delete the redirect rule: If you no longer want the URL to be redirected, simply delete the corresponding redirect rule in your Webflow site's hosting settings. This will remove the redirect and prevent the URL from being redirected in the future.
Modify the redirect target: If you want to redirect the URL to a different location or remove the redirection altogether, you can modify the redirect target in your Webflow site's hosting settings. Update the destination URL or remove it to stop the redirection.
Request removal in the Google Search Console: After you have made the necessary changes in your Webflow site's hosting settings, you can request the removal of the redirected URLs from the Google Search Console. To do this, go to the "Removals" section in the Google Search Console and submit a new removal request for each redirected URL. This will help expedite the process of removing the redirected URLs from the search results.
Monitor the changes: It may take some time for Google to process your removal requests and update the search results. During this time, keep an eye on the Google Search Console to track any changes in the status of the redirected URLs. Once the removal is confirmed, the redirected URLs should no longer appear in the Google Search Console.
By following these steps, you can effectively remove redirected URLs from appearing in the Google Search Console for your Webflow website.
