Knowledgebase: Error: “Too Many Redirects”

Getting this error after moving / adding your website to PBN.LTD? Find the super quick fix for this here!

If you’re seeing a “Too Many Redirects” error when visiting your website, this is a site-level error, not something displayed in your PBN.LTD dashboard. It’s quite common and usually has a straightforward fix.


🔧 General Cause & Fix

In most cases, this error is local to your device. It typically happens due to:

  • Browser cache storing an old redirect path

  • Your machine’s local DNS cache

  • Browser extensions interfering with redirects

Even if the site is online and working, you may continue seeing the error locally due to cached redirect behavior.

✅ What to Do First:

  1. Fully clear your browser cache
    (Note: Incognito mode alone won’t help if the redirect loop is cached. A full cache clear is required.)

  2. Flush your machine’s local DNS:

    • Windows:
      ipconfig /flushdns

    • macOS:
      sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

    • Linux:
      sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches

  3. Temporarily disable browser extensions
    Especially any related to HTTPS, privacy, caching, or redirects.

  4. Use a proxy to confirm the site is online
    Go to https://www.proxysite.com and load your domain. If it works there, the site is functioning and the issue is local to you.


🤔 Still Seeing the Error?

If clearing everything above doesn’t fix it, the issue may be related to your website setup — especially if you’ve just added the domain or recently made changes.


🌐 For Static HTML Sites:

  • Check manual redirects in .htaccess or other configurations. Loops often occur from conflicting wwwnon-www or HTTPHTTPS redirects.

  • SSL Propagation Timing
    On PBN.LTD, SSL is automatically issued once DNS has fully resolved and HTTPS is selected in your dashboard.

    ➤ If your domain just switched to “ok” state, the SSL may still be propagating.
    Trying to access the site with HTTPS before the SSL has finished issuing can trigger a redirect loop.

    Here’s what to do:

    • Wait 30 minutes

    • Fully clear your browser cache again

    • Then reload the site


🛠️ For WordPress Sites:

  • Plugin conflicts
    Redirect or security plugins like Really Simple SSL or Rank Math may force redirect loops, especially if installed before the SSL was ready.

  • URL configuration
    Go to Settings > General and ensure both the WordPress Address and Site Address are correct (typically https://yourdomain.com).

  • If you're locked out, you can override URLs in wp-config.php:

    define('WP_HOME','https://yourdomain.com');
    define('WP_SITEURL','https://yourdomain.com');

  • SSL Timing Reminder
    If you’ve just added the domain and selected HTTPS, SSL is issued automatically by PBN.LTD — but may take a short while after the domain enters “ok” state.
    During this propagation period, redirect loops may occur. Wait ~30 minutes, clear your cache again, and try accessing the site.


🧠 Summary

  • “Too Many Redirects” is a site-level issue, not a dashboard error

  • Most often caused by local cache or DNS issues

  • SSL is auto-issued on PBN.LTD once DNS resolves — don’t force HTTPS access too early

  • For WordPress users, plugin or URL misconfigurations are common culprits
