Multiple redirects detected.

Did you try if it helps when you remove the .htaccess redirect?
If you are using Varnish cache, please deactivate it. It often causes issues on SSL.

Without seeing your site, I can’t really tell what’s going on, but I’ve listed the most common issues here:

Hello, Rogier.

I tried everything on the indicated page, but nothing worked. I also uninstalled all plugins, but it did not work.

My website: https://goo.gl/P471vN

My .htaccess:

Can’t see any issues. Your site loads fine on Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Maybe you need to clear your cache?

Yes, I’ve cleared the cache.

Taking the test at https://www.redirect-checker.org/, I get the result:

Result:

CONGRATULATION. Everything seems to be fine.

=============
https://mysite.com
301 Moved Permanently
https://mysite.com/
301 Moved Permanently
https://www.mysite.com/
200 OK
=============

He is redirecting twice.

Ideally, would not it only redirect once? As below:

==================
https://mysite.com
301 Moved Permanently
https://www.mysite.com/
200 OK
==================

After installation, the number of pages in my site indexed by Google doubled.

What else can I try?

I thought you meant you had a redirect loop. Misunderstood. Sorry about that.

Really Simple SSL only redirects the request url to it’s https counterpart. Reading some interviews with Matt Cutts Up it seems Google does not have a problem with up to 3 301 redirects.

That said, you could add a redirect from https://mysite.com to https://www.mysite.com to bypass an unnecessary redirect. You can find code here:

Perfect, Rogier. Now all URLs are redirecting to https://www.mysite.com, and there is no double redirection.

Thank you very much for the help and congratulations for the plugin.
