Shorten the redirect

But, like code, redirects have their limits. You can't just slap a redirect all over your site and expect it to work well. This is because redirects essentially slow down your site.

When you click on a regular mobile link, the server opens the document found at that link. But essentially, a redirect means that there is no document at that particular link, so the server has to go to the page where the document lives and retrieve it.

This process happens to every file on the web page, meaning that every venezuela consumer email list image, CSS, or JavaScript file will be redirected.

This results in the page loading taking a few more seconds. By this time, your users may have already left.

I recommend using Varvey Redirect Mapper to find out how many redirects are on each page of your site:

You can then trace the roots of all redirects and change anything that is not necessary. The less work your site has to do, the faster it will do it. Just don't overuse redirects or become dependent on them.
