A page redirect, or 301 redirect, lets you map old URLs from your previous website to your new one. This ensures that visitors and search engines don't get error messages from bookmarked or old pages. You can also use this tool to direct a visitor from one page on your site to any other URL on the web.
You can manage your redirects on the Legacy URLs page in the Settings dashboard.
Click Add Redirect at the top of the Legacy URLs page.
In the Redirect From field, enter the part of the URL that comes after your domain name, like /contact-us
.
In the Redirect To field, enter the URL where you want to send visitors. You can type in the name of a page on your site and select it, or enter a full URL.
Click Save.
Note: We recommend that you republish your website after adding new redirects. This ensures the changes take effect immediately by clearing your website's internal cache.
You can use a wildcard redirect to send multiple old URLs to a single, specific page. This is a good way to preserve the SEO value of old pages that no longer exist.
For example, to redirect all of your old blog posts to your main blog page:
The URLs for your blog posts might look like yourwebsite.com/blog/blog-post-1
.
To redirect just one blog post, enter blog-post-1
in the Redirect From field.
To redirect all of your blog posts, enter the wildcard redirect blog/
in the Redirect From field. This will redirect any URL that follows /blog/
to the page you specify.
