What is a Redirect?

A redirect is a technical tool that allows you to redirect visitors from one web page to another. This is a useful tool for website owners who want to move pages to new URLs, change the site structure, or merge multiple pages into one.

How does Redirect work?

A redirect works by sending redirect information to the user's browser or crawler. The user's browser or robot first requests the first page and then receives a response that the page has been moved to a new URL. After that, the browser or robot automatically navigates to a new page.

What types of Redirect are there?

There are several types of redirects, including 301, 302, 303, and 307. The 301 and 302 codes are the most commonly used. A 301 redirect tells search engines and browsers that the page has been permanently moved to a new URL and that the new URL should be used to find content. A 302 redirect temporarily moves the user to a new page, the original page may return to the search index if you change your mind about moving the page.

When should you use Redirect?
