How to Set Up Redirects the Right Way
21/05/2025
Want to forward an old page to a new
one? That’s what a redirect does — and it’s super helpful for SEO and
user experience.
A 301 redirect is permanent.
It tells browsers and search engines that the old URL is gone for good and
sends them to the new one. A 302 redirect is temporary.
You can set up redirects via your
CMS, a plugin, or by editing your .htaccess file if you're using Apache. Be careful with the syntax to
avoid breaking your site.
Too many redirects can slow your
site or confuse search engines, so use them wisely. And always test your
changes afterward.
