301 Moved Permanently

A permanent redirect, also known as a 301 permanent redirect or HTTP/2 status code 301, is a type of HTTP response that permanently redirects a client to a different URL. This is done to maintain the client's session and to ensure that any future requests are directed to the new location.

The purpose of this method is to preserve data sent by the client during its previous request. By redirecting to a new URL, the server can maintain the session and continue where it left off without disrupting the user experience.

A permanent redirect is used in various scenarios, including:

• Redirecting from one website to another

• Migrating between services or hosting providers
