There are several potential causes for redirect issues on a Webflow site. Here are some common ones to investigate:

Incorrect URL redirects: Double-check that you have set up your redirects correctly in Webflow's settings. Make sure the source URLs and destination URLs are accurate and properly formatted. Also, ensure that you are using the correct redirect type (e.g., 301 or 302) based on your needs.
DNS configuration: If you recently made changes to your DNS settings, such as updating your domain or configuring subdomains, it could affect how redirects work. Check your DNS records to ensure they are correctly pointing to your Webflow site.
Caching issues: Cached versions of your site can sometimes interfere with redirects. Clear your browser cache and any server-side caches, such as a CDN or reverse proxy, to ensure you are seeing the most up-to-date version of your site.
Conflicting redirects: If you have multiple redirects set up, it's possible that they are conflicting with each other and causing unexpected behavior. Review all your redirects and ensure they are not contradicting or overlapping each other.
.htaccess or server configuration: If you are using custom code or server configuration files like .htaccess, they could be causing issues with redirects. Double-check that your code is correct and that there are no conflicting rules or errors.
Incorrect SSL settings: If you recently implemented SSL for your Webflow site and are experiencing redirect issues, your SSL settings might be misconfigured. Make sure you have set up your SSL certificate correctly and that HTTPS redirects are functioning as expected.
External services or integrations: If you are using third-party services or integrations on your site, they could have their own redirect rules that are conflicting with your Webflow redirects. Consult the documentation or support for these services to ensure they are not causing any issues.

In summary, redirects issues on a Webflow site can be caused by various factors such as incorrect URL redirects, DNS configuration, caching issues, conflicting redirects, .htaccess or server configuration, incorrect SSL settings, or external services and integrations.
