What is a 301 Permanent Redirect?
A 301 permanent redirect is an HTTP response that permanently redirects a client request from one URL to another. The "permanently" part means it cannot be changed without reconfiguring the server.
When and Why is a 301 Redirect Needed?
A 301 redirect is typically used when you need to update or change a URL on your website, but want to preserve existing search engine rankings.
- You can move a page from one domain name to another without losing traffic to the old URL.
- Changes made to content should be reflected in both URLs to maintain SEO effectiveness.
