What Is a Redirect?

301 Moved Permanently. A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect

from an old site link to a new site link while still maintaining SEO value. In most instances, the 301 redirect is the best method for implementing redirects on a website.

Be aware of "Redirect Loop" which can cause a link to continue to redirect and never land on a page. For example, if A points to B and B points back to A, this can cause an endless loop and browser issues.

How Do I Create a Redirect?

To get started login to your site's Admin.
Select Settings / Redirects / Add Redirect.

In the form, select your site domain by clicking the button next to Site and enter the Redirect From and Redirect To page links.
Example: I've changed my old services page and would like for anyone clicking on the old link to redirect to my new page.
Enter the old domain path www.example.com/services/oldpage/ and the new page www.example.com/services/newpage/
Make sure to Save!

Now any time a customer clicks on the Old Services link, they will be redirected to the New Services page.
