Hello everyone,
In google search console, in coverage section i have a redirect error for an url. When i browse it on google it is saying that "domain.com redirected you too many times". How can i fix this problem? I tried to delete the redirections but it is still giving this error.
Thank you.

Do you mean when you try to view the page on Chrome?

If you are certain that you deleted the redirects then try clearing your cookies and reload the page, I have had this issue before a simple clear of cookies/cache fixed the issue.

actually the url that giving redirect error has spelling error (example.com/brand-makası) instead of (ı) i should have used (i). And then i corrected the url. and made 301 redirect from "example.com/brand-markası" to "example.com/brand-markasi". Now i am not able to open to of them. When i browse two of them it is saying "example.com redirected you too many times.". I will try to delete all redirections and clear the cookies now.

This may be a server-specific problem. Step over to the appropriate subforum--Apache or IIS or whatever it may be--and post your actual redirect code. This will make it easier to pinpoint the problem.

ı is dotlessi, a non-ASCII, non-Latin-1 character (most common in, I think, Turkish). This suggests several possible errors depending on server setup, but there isn't enough information to diagnose it.

The “too many redirects” error in your browser means that a single request leads to a cascade of redirects from the server. After some number of tries, the browser gives up and shows you the error message. The first thing to check is your site's access logs. (Not error logs.) The initial request with dotlessi will lead to a series of almost-identical requests--10 or 20 or 30, depending on browser. Look closely at all those requests. Are they different, or identical? The browser is smart enough to know when to give up, either way, but you need to figure out what is happening.

I agree with lucy24 but please take a moment to read the Apache forum Charter [webmasterworld.com] before posting a complete actual paste of your redirects, to deal with your privacy. ;)

then i corrected the url. and made 301 redirect from "example.com/brand-markası" to "example.com/brand-markasi".

the hash tag in a url is the start of a document fragment identifier.
this means the hash tag and what follows is never sent with the HTTP Request.

the initial url that is being recursively redirected is actually example.com/brand-markas&

The first thing to check is your site's access logs.

yes - i would start with the web server access log file.

Step over to the appropriate subforum--Apache or IIS or whatever it may be--and post your actual redirect code.

this would be helpful.

phranque, I don't think we're dealing with the literal string "ı" but with a non-Latin-1 character (dotlessi) that the present site can't display and therefore converts to a numerical entity.

If I've misunderstood, I hope OP comes back and clarifies.

When i browse it on google it is saying that "domain.com redirected you too many times".

does "browse it on google" mean "fetch as googlebot"?

Thank you i dont have authority to reach access log. I think i will tell this issue to someone who has authority for server problems. Thank you.
