Symptom

  • Under Onpage > Analysis management > example.com the message Error start URL is displayed

  • when the page is called, a 301 (redirect) HTTP status code is returned

  • with Google DevTools you can see that the response header does not have a location header Location::

Ein Bild, das Text, Screenshot, Schrift, Dokument enthält. KI-generierte Inhalte können fehlerhaft sein.

Cause

The 301 status is returned, but a location header is not available.

Solution

Make sure that the location header is available if a redirection is set up.
