ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Quick answer

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS means the page keeps sending you around in a loop. Clear cookies for that site and try again; if you own the site, fix conflicting HTTP-to-HTTPS or www redirects.

What does “ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS” mean?

The website redirected the browser so many times that it stopped trying.

What causes it?

  • Old or broken cookies
  • Wrong redirect rules on the site
  • SSL setting conflict (for example Cloudflare Flexible SSL)
  • Wrong site URL in CMS settings

Steps to try

Stop when the issue is resolved.

  1. Open the site in an incognito window to test.
  2. Clear cookies for the site: click the icon left of the address → Cookies and site data → delete.
  3. Site owners: check .htaccess or server redirect rules for loops.
  4. Site owners using Cloudflare: set SSL mode to Full or Full (strict).
  5. Site owners: make sure the site URL setting matches (http vs https, www vs non-www).
