ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on Hostinger WordPress: What to Check

Fix a WordPress redirect loop on Hostinger by checking HTTPS, WordPress URLs, CDN/proxy conflicts, redirects and cache in the right order.

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on Hostinger WordPress: What to Check
Quick answer

Redirect loops usually mean two layers are sending the browser back and forth. Check HTTPS and WordPress URL consistency first, then CDN/proxy and manual redirect rules.

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS means the browser is being redirected repeatedly and never reaches the final page. Adding more redirect rules usually makes this worse.

Start with HTTPS consistency

Confirm WordPress Address and Site Address use the intended https:// URL. Hostinger recommends HTTPS for WordPress and documents the normal configuration in its force HTTPS guide.

Check for two systems forcing the same redirect

A hosting redirect, WordPress/plugin redirect, CDN/proxy rule and manual .htaccess rule can conflict. Review one layer at a time rather than disabling security globally.

If Hostinger CDN is enabled

Hostinger notes that redirect loops can occur when another proxy/CDN is active at the same time or when manual redirect rules conflict with HTTPS. Its current CDN troubleshooting guide recommends isolating the CDN to identify the source.

Clear cache after correcting the cause

Only purge caches after the configuration is consistent. Clearing cache cannot fix a redirect rule that is still wrong. See our Hostinger and WordPress cache guide.

Do not remove SSL as a first fix

Hostinger maintains a dedicated SSL troubleshooting section. Preserve HTTPS and correct the conflicting configuration wherever possible.

Verification

Test the exact URL in a private browser window. It should make at most the expected canonical redirect—for example HTTP to HTTPS—and then load normally.
