There's nothing wrong with this piece of code, unless you're redirecting back to the home page from
/login or /dashboard. In that case you could have created a redirect loop@not-milo.tsx There's nothing wrong with this piece of code, **unless** you're redirecting back to the home page from `/login` or `/dashboard`. In that case you could have created a redirect loop

Just break the redirect loop. Basically currently whenever you will go to
/login or /dashboard it will trigger the middleware and this will continue happening in a loop. You need to check if your current path isnt the path you are trying to redirect to. If it isnt you redirect, if it is you dont do anything.@Clown Just break the redirect loop.

Actually no, his matcher allows the middleware to run only on the homepage. Look at the matcher array.
The loop is created because the op added some form of redirection from either
Remove that redirecting piece of code and you'll solve your issue.
