A redirect is a server-level instruction that automatically forwards users and search engines from one URL to another. These technical implementations come in several forms, with 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) being most common. Properly implemented redirects preserve search equity when content moves, preventing broken links and maintaining user experience. Strategic redirect management is essential during site migrations, URL structure changes, and content consolidation to preserve hard-earned search visibility.
