Wairds Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I generated a sitemap and loaded up to Google. I decided to test a couple of url's in Fetch as Google. When I did this I noticed it came up with a banner stating Redirected! The redirection was to the same url but without the .html. The consequence being a 404 not found. I am using the standard .htaccess file and don't understand why Google is doing this? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Dubyah Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 How much time did you leave between uploading the sitemap and using the fetch as Google ? It can take Google up to 14 days to index a sitemap, and all the links to and from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wairds Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks for responding. I now realise I was too hasty. Google has only just indexed the sitemap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
