Feature #93288
Updated by Sybille Peters about 3 years ago
*Clarification* : I am talking about *redirect chains* (redirects to other URL) here, not *redirect loops* (redirects to same URL).
If URLs are changed several times, redirect chains are created, e.g. /a -> /b -> /c.
If these are merged, it reduces the number of requests necessary to load a page.
Could be done on-the-fly or as a command.
*Before* :
/a -> /b
/b -> /c
*After*
/a -> /c
/b -> /c
This way, /a and /b are still redirected, but /a redirects directly to /c instead of to /b and then to /c.
