What Is the Redirection Limit?
Redirection limit refers to a browser setting that limits the number of simultaneous HTTP connections can be open for a given website request. This setting enables the browser to download several files from a web server simultaneously while putting a reasonable upper limit on such connections. Simultaneous connections can sometimes improve download speed, but they can also cause problems if malicious web authors want to open multiple pop-ups when you visit their site (for example).
Redirection limit errors can occur unintentionally when a web page or pages inadertently create a loop. For instance, if Page A redirects to itself, or to Page B which redirects back to Page A, then your web browser will start building connections at every turn of the loop until the limit is exceeded.
