Frequently Asked Questions
A URL redirect is a way to forward visitors and search engines from one URL to another.
It's commonly used when moving content to a new URL, changing domain names, or
consolidating multiple URLs. Proper redirects are crucial for maintaining SEO value and
providing a smooth user experience.
- 301 Redirect: A permanent redirect that passes most SEO value. Best for permanent URL changes.
- 302 Redirect: A temporary redirect that doesn't pass SEO value. Use only for temporary changes.
- 307 Redirect: A temporary redirect that maintains the HTTP method.
- 308 Redirect: A permanent redirect that maintains the HTTP method.
Redirects can significantly impact your website's SEO in several ways:
- 301 redirects pass 90-99% of SEO value to the new URL
- Multiple redirects (redirect chains) can slow down page load times
- Temporary redirects (302, 307) don't pass SEO value
- Broken redirects can lead to 404 errors and lost SEO value
- Use 301 redirects for permanent URL changes
- Minimize redirect chains - direct to the final URL when possible
- Regularly audit redirects to ensure they're working properly
- Update internal links to point to new URLs instead of relying on redirects
- Maintain redirects for at least 1 year after URL changes
