In terms of loop errors, you are more likely to run into a “too many redirects” where someone has mishandled 301 and 302 redirects to where either they’re looping in on themselves or simply have too many redirects in a chain that prevents the requested resource or URL from actually rendering. The HTTP error 508 itself is actually pretty rare. The server doesn’t ever get to actually fulfill the request because the logic is recursive and looping in on itself. Somewhere on the page, a link or resource is being called, and then that resource calls something else that then calls the original resource.
