The error “too many redirects” means that the website keeps being redirected between different addresses in a way that will never complete. These kind of errors rarely resolve themselves and will probably need you to take action to fix it. In addition, in most cases it only affects you while other website visitors won’t be affected.
There are a couple of different variations of this error depending upon the browser you’re running.
How the error is displayed depending on your browser:
Google Chrome
In Google Chrome this error will show as ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS (as seen below) or This webpage has a redirect loop problem.

Mozilla Firefox

How to fix this error:
a) Delete Cookies on That Specific Site

Due to the fact that cookies retain your “logged in” status on sites and other settings, we recommend simply deleting the cookie(s) on the site that is having the problem. This way you won’t impact any of your other sessions or websites that you frequently visit.
