Redirects in a sitemap

WarningMedium priority

Addresses a sitemap lists that redirect.

Why it matters

Search engines expect a sitemap to list final addresses; a redirect in one is a page listed by its old name.

How to fix it

List the address each redirect ends at instead.

Skitter runs this check on every crawl, and lists each page it finds with the evidence: the header, the tag or the link that gave it away.
