Direct answer

When Baidu spider or another crawler behaves unexpectedly, first confirm that the target URL returns 200 or a stable canonical redirect, then inspect 301/302/308 chains, 404/5xx samples, robots and sitemap entry points, User-Agent source differences, and real crawler hits in access logs.

FAQ

When Baidu spider or another crawler behaves unexpectedly, first confirm that the target URL returns 200 or a stable canonical redirect, then inspect 301/302/308 chains, 404/5xx samples, robots and sitemap entry points, User-Agent source differences, and real crawler hits in access logs.

Are 301, 302, or 308 responses always bad for Baidu spider?

No. A single clean HTTP-to-HTTPS or old-to-new canonical redirect is usually acceptable. Risk rises when chains are long, temporary redirects are misused, final URLs disagree, or sitemaps submit redirecting URLs.

Why can a page look fine in a browser but fail for crawlers?

Servers may vary output by User-Agent, region, security rule, or cache layer. Check status, redirects, source, canonical/noindex, and log hits together.
