Plugin redirects a lot of traffic to non existing page

Screenshot of GA.

Hi,

Are you sure the redirection to https://1fuzz.com/1fuzz.com is actually caused by the plugin? Can you check on GA by the tracking parameters utm_source/utm_medium/utm_campaign that this traffic doesn’t come from somewhere else?

I don’t see a reason why the plugin should suddenly behave differently than before.

Your mentioned links lead me to random articles, for example:

• “People from all over the Internet suddenly decided that the screen characters are undernourished, and began offering them delicious food”
• “Brewery bought the Jamaican national bobsled team new sledges in return for those that the coach took”

Even if nothing is found, for example with a condition where no post could possibly match:

https://1fuzz.com//?redirect_to=random&date_query_after=1%20second%20ago&utm_source=adcash_fallback&utm_medium=1395487&utm_campaign=march

the plugin correctly redirects to your home page.

So to me the most likely explanation is that the traffic to https://1fuzz.com/1fuzz.com is caused by another plugin or from outside your web.

Hello,

it turns out, that the page was renamed due to Yoast SEO plugin. In fact it was not affecting any stats at all.

However, now I see the following picture: https://imgur.com/a/yJWb1

Looks like users getting stuck at these pages? If you copy the link from GA you’ll see that you will probably be redirected to a normal page (I’m getting normal redirection) and after redirection, I can see Active Page have my page appeared.

Do you know what can be the issue?

I don’t use Google Analytics and I don’t really understand the relation between the plugin and the image.

Yes, as I wrote before, when I use your website’s URL with /?redirect_to=random, I get redirected to a normal post. So the plugin is working as it should.

If visitors go to a non-existing page, there is probably another reason. You first need to find out if any plugin is the cause, and if yes which one. Maybe GA can show you where the visitors came from who ended up at the bad page. (try “Funnel Visualization” / “Goal Flow”)

Unfortunately I can only help with issues that are related to this plugin.
