Can a 301 page be crawled by google?

Is it possible for google or any other crawler to crawl and index a page which returns a 301 status code?

I have seen a page in google, which has had a 301 for months. However the cache date of that page in the index is from a few days ago.

Can google just ignore the 301 and crawl the contents of a page?

Are 301 redirects good for SEO?

301 Redirects are considered best practice in SEO – even if the difference between the two styles of redirects is fairly minimal.

Does Google Analytics track 301 redirects?

How can I track and analyze traffic from a 301 redirect on Google Analytics? You can't. A 301 redirect happens server-side, before the Google Analytics tracking script (which is client-side) loads. That means the Google Analytics script cannot determine whether or not a visitor arrived to the page through a redirect.

How does browser handle 301?

The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 301 Moved Permanently redirect status response code indicates that the requested resource has been definitively moved to the URL given by the Location headers. A browser redirects to the new URL and search engines update their links to the resource.

Does Google crawl redirects?

Does Google crawl and index redirects? No, it does not. This means that if you redirect from one page to another, the content on the original page will not get indexed. Only the target URL will be crawled and indexed by the search engine.

Normally Google crawls the page that's redirected to. Two possible explanations for the site you saw:

  • The site just showed a 301 message instead of returning HTTP-headers properly.
  • The site redirected to another 301, which redirected to another 301, ...
