I want to redirect a URL, how to do it?

[Clara Smith]

See, redirection means to redirect a particular URL of your website to another page. If you don’t want your users to see the page, you can redirect them to another page.

To set redirection in site tools, follow the steps:

1) Log in to the Site tool.

2) Select the “Domains” option.

3) Then select the “Redirects” sub-option.

4) Choose the required domain, enter the URL of the page you wish to redirect and then enter the URL of the site where you wish to redirect.

5) Finally click on the “Create” button.

This way the redirection is set in the Site tool.

What is the difference between permanent and temporary redirection?

[Aaron Martin]

Types of redirections-

1)Permanent: When a page is permanently redirected, it goes to the new URL and instructs users or search engines to update their databases with the new URL. It is buried in the browser memory and has the status code 301.

2) Temporary: Temporary redirection informs the browser with status code 302. The browser is instructed not to save this redirect to its cached data by the 302 code. This form of redirect is advised if you plan to utilise the original URL again in the future.
