Hi, 

I am checking a DNN 9.3.2 site on the aspect of SEO-urls. So i am checking the Page settings > Advanced > S.E.O. tab.

And i notice in one site that there are duplicate 301-redirect-entries on quite a few pages. 
I am not sure how this happened (i don't manage any content for this site). But it would appear that on a rename of a page, or when the page is moved (or a parent page is moved), the old url is created twice as 301-redirect.

Example: 
I have page /services/youth-care
It appears to have been renamed to /services/child-care
I see the latter as Active (200). And the former appears twice as Redirect 301)

Questions that I have 

  1. Is this a problem? Some pages have quite a lot of 301-redirect entries. And i wonder if i must delete them or if i can ignore them.
  2. Does anybody know why this happens?

I notice the same, not sure why this is the case and if it's an issue.
What version of DNN btw?

Another thing that I notice, is that for the current 200-Active url, there is also an identical 301-redirect url. 

Same questions ofcourse :-) I have the impresssion that the 301 is ignored btw.
