Understanding Redirect Types
Different HTTP status codes for different use cases
Permanent Redirect
Indicates that the resource has permanently moved to a new URL. Search engines will update their index.
When to use: Use for permanently moved pages, domain changes, or consolidating duplicate content.
Temporary Redirect
Indicates a temporary redirect. The original URL should still be used and indexed by search engines.
When to use: Use for A/B testing, temporary maintenance pages, or seasonal content.
Temporary Redirect (HTTP 1.1)
Similar to 302 but guarantees the HTTP method won't change during the redirect.
When to use: Use when you need to preserve the request method (POST, PUT, etc.).
Permanent Redirect (HTTP 1.1)
Similar to 301 but guarantees the HTTP method won't change during the redirect.
When to use: Use for permanent redirects when you need to preserve the request method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about URL redirects
A URL redirect is when a web page automatically sends visitors to a different URL. This happens when content moves to a new location, domains change, or pages are consolidated. Redirects use HTTP status codes like 301 (permanent) or 302 (temporary) to tell browsers and search engines where to find the content.
