Solved, the problem is a security policy from Squarespace redirects, if a redirect is requiered multiple times in a short period, the subsequent responses will be 404, see https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205815308?platform=v6&websiteId=5f57bcca2705ef26430fff61#toc-redirect-activated-multiple-times

I have this URL redirect configured: /products/xxxx-xxx -> /products/ 301 When I try to access https://www.test.org/products/xxxx-xxx at times the redirection works and at times it doesn't

I believe a step was left out though from the March 17, 2021 solution: at the end of the stated process, after the original homepage (now with a new slug) is reset as the homepage, you can revert to its original slug, thus giving your newly created redirect rule a page to redirect. That step allows you to override the "you can't redirect a page that already exists" rule which was essentially the problem. So it's as if once a URL redirect in Squarespace takes hold, it will stay working. It's just not able to "take hold" — even though Squarespace allows you to add the rule to the URL Mappings list — if the page you're trying to redirect already exists. In other words, "/xyz" can be mapped to "/" as long as when such a rule is added to the URL Mappings list, "/xyz" doesn't exist. But if a page with slug "xyz" is created after the mapping exists (as in this case), the redirect will stay working.

Site URL: https://partners.red.org/impact We have a page with slug /impact that we set as the homepage but apparently, the page's slug can't be removed resulting in duplicate content: https://partners.red.org/ https://partners.red.org/impact And since /impact still exists, I can't set up a redirect in URL Mapping. How is this supposed to be resolved? /Chris
