How to remove/fix the URL chain?
The first thing to do is find out what each script does and then look at removing anything that is not needed. Also, you may use tag filters to prevent tags from popping up where they aren’t needed.
For example, you may only display certain display adverts on certain pages you can stop loading the script where its not needed.
If all of the tags are needed then it might be worth reaching out to the third party to see if they can reduce the amount of redirects
