Smart Crawl reports a 301 redirection, but I haven't set it up

I’m getting a few messages in SmartCrawl I don’t understand (I see them under the SC tab on Hub):

“This page is being redirected to another URL permanently via multiple 301 hops.

While redirecting older content on your site to a new and up-to-date page can be beneficial for SEO, every hop in a redirection chain can cost you SEO juice.

To resolve this, update the redirection for your page so it uses just one hop.

http://www****nts.com/*****menu/ This page is being redirected to another URL permanently via multiple 301 hops.”

But I didn’t add any redirection on the site, as far as I’m aware.

    Hello Bevan,

    I noticed that report in your HUB that you showed screenshot during chat session is from November 2017 – have you run new scan since then and it shows the same results?

    Because I have run SEO scan on your site in SmartCrawl just now and also on WP-Checkup page and there is no mention about redirects like on your screenshots.

    So it looks that even if there was redirects like that – it is no longer there. It could be related with the switch to https (urls on the screens are http).

    kind regards,

    Kasia
