Short Answer
This notice means Google found pages on your site that now redirect to other URLs. That’s normal when we intentionally change URLs or consolidate content; Google will stop indexing the old addresses and focus on the new destinations over time.
Overview
Google Search Console sometimes sends an alert like “Page with redirect” or “New reason preventing your pages from being indexed.”
This is not an error if we purposely redirected a page. It simply tells you: “The page that was indexed is now a redirect.”
Why You’re Seeing This
When we build your new website, we create Redirect from your old URLs
The old URL now 301-redirects to the best current page.
Google flags the old URL as not indexable (because it redirects), and shifts attention to the target page.
Do I have to take action?
No action needed if:
The redirect is intentional (part of a restructure, service/area cleanup, or content consolidation).
The redirect points to a relevant, working destination (200 status).
FAQ
Will this hurt my rankings?
No; proper 301s preserve authority and guide Google to the right page.How long until the old URLs disappear from the index?
Timing varies. Google typically drops old URLs as it re-crawls; this can take days to a few weeks.
