Hello friends,

What method do you use to redirect a page?

[chris26]

301 redirect is the best method to redirect pages. 301 is a permanent redirect and will not harm SEO performance or reduce the PageRank of the page.

There are three main types of redirects to be aware of, although most website owners will only need to use the first.

1. 301 Redirect
2. 302 Redirect
3. Meta Refresh

The most common way to redirect pages is through a 301 redirect which is a permanent redirect. Let me help you understand it through an example

Say you have link-1 which is “link1.com” but you want visitors to go to the new link “link2.com” that you have created, maybe because you’ve changed link-1 or have deleted it entirely or for some other reason. The 301 redirect will take the user to the 2nd link instead of the first. This tells users and search engine crawlers that the first link has changed and a new destination “link2.com” has been made.

This means that the 2nd link will be indexed and all the “link juice” will be passed over to “link2.com”

Another redirect is the 302 redirect which basically means that the original page is temporarily unavailable but it will soon come back.
