Redirects

What are URL Redirects? URL redirects are directives and commands given to search engine robots to control the index coverage of a website. What Are The Different Types of URL Redirects? There are a few types of url redirects that are used for specific circumstances. 1. 301 Redirect A 301 redirect is used when a page has been permanently deleted, and takes the user or crawler to the new location. 2. 302 Redirect A 302 redirect forwards traffic to a new location temporarily. This should be used if you’re planning to bring back the previous page, or if you’re testing out another page. 3. 307 Redirect A 307 redirect is also another http response status code that notifies visitors and crawlers alike, that a page has been temporarily redirected to a new URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). 4. 308 Redirect This redirect notifies the user of a page’s permanent redirect expressed within the location header.
