Bolt auth

Infinite Redirect Loop - Auth Redirect Not Ending

Application gets stuck in redirect loop. User is continuously redirected between login and dashboard, browser shows error about too many redirects.

Page loads then immediately redirects, causing infinite loop.

Error Messages You Might See

Error: Too many redirects Redirect loop detected Browser stopped page because it was in redirect loop Possible infinite redirect
Error: Too many redirectsRedirect loop detectedBrowser stopped page because it was in redirect loopPossible infinite redirect

Common Causes

  1. Auth check redirects to login even when authenticated
  2. Login page redirects to dashboard but user isn't logged in
  3. Circular redirect condition logic
  4. Session not persisting between redirects
  5. Middleware checking wrong condition

How to Fix It

Check auth logic: if(!user) redirect to login. If user, allow access

Ensure session loads before checking auth: check isLoading state first

Add condition to break loop: if(isLoggedIn) { don't redirect to login } else { don't redirect to dashboard }

Use middleware.ts for centralized auth checks with proper conditions

Debug: log redirect decisions to console

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent redirect loops?

1) Check user state exists before redirecting, 2) Have clear public/private routes, 3) Test all edge cases

What if login page redirects to dashboard?

Check: if user is already logged in (don't show login), if not authenticated (show login)

Should I use middleware or useEffect for redirects?

Middleware (Next.js) is better - handles before page renders. useEffect causes layout shift
