Opened on:

Description:

I have made the following change

Current text:

While redirection is a commonly employed mechanism, it must be remembered that
redirection usually requires a round-trip to the browser. This adds to delay on
slow links, hence redirection should not be used as a matter of course.

Proposed text:

While redirection is a commonly employed mechanism, it must be remembered that
redirection usually requires a round-trip to the browser. This adds to delay on
slow links, so use a maximum of one redirect per page and limit the number of
pages that are redirected.
