Is Redirection beneficial to get ranking or harmful for the site ?

A good website should never encounter any canonical issues. It means that suppose "http://www.xxx.com" and "htttp://xxx.com" if both urls get opened without making a redirection to a particular URL, then the search engines consider them as different websites and you will likely face the problem of link equity and thus could never have a better chance to build the page rank. Hence the best solution could be the "redirection" focused to a single url for your website.

A redirect is a way to send both users and search engines to a different URL from the one they originally requested. Below are descriptions of some of the commonly used types of redirects.

SEO friendliest way is to not let the browser know it is being redirected. The best way, but might not be available depending on host, is to use the .htaccess file to do the redirect. Using that file causes the webserver to do the redirect before ever leaving the server.....

Redirection is a process of changing old URL to new URL. There are three types of redirects- 301 redirect, 302 redirect and meta refresh.
