  Good afternoon! Perhaps someone faced a similar situation. Tell me please.
  About half a year after switching from the Platinum SEO plugin (at that time it was not updated for a long time) to All In one SEO Pack, pages with redirects started appearing in the Google Webmasters – Coverage panel. URLs are truncated by the number of characters, not full. This was not the case when creating posts
  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TmLrUvHu2DNiJ0YtCkYqJ30mKgp8nLqz/view?usp=sharing

  In other webmasters I did not notice this. If you copy such an incomplete url to the redirect check, then there are 3-4 redirects that happen until it reaches the normal url.

  I scanned the site in Screaming frog, Site analyzer – there are no such cropped urls anywhere. I have not seen links to truncated url in external links …
  In Google Webmaster – Coverage / As found is written on the following URLs:

  Referring page
  Not found
  The URL may be known from other sources that are not currently disclosed.

  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y26xO2ls7wD8is_C1m-52L-8TX7lKzEH/view?usp=sharing
  

  If you click Check a page on the site, it is written like this:
  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dKUA4pDY5NNR23RlGo6l-iNlwVASXHzf/view?usp=sharing

  Please tell me where they can appear in Google Webmasters? Can such redirects harm indexing and site positions?

  Hey there, can you check in the forums for that plugin?
  https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack/

  These forums are actually for the sites hosted here at WordPress.com. Our setup is a bit different:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I’m not sure what the reason is in this plugin. Can you please tell me which forum to support WordPress sites on a separate hosting?

  Sure. Here are the forums for the free WordPress software:
  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  They have several sub-forums, so I’d recommend the one for the plugin you mentioned, or you could try the developer forums.

  The plugin support specialist said that this is not because of the plugin, it does not support redirects.

  I’ll try to write to the developers forum.
  Thank you!
