What is a redirect?
A redirect automatically sends visitors from one URL to another.
Redirects are useful when a page has been moved, renamed, or removed. They help visitors reach the correct content instead of seeing a "Page Not Found" error.
For example, you may have previously used the URL /summer-sale, but later decide to replace it with the URL /offers
Visitors using the old URL can be automatically redirected to the new page.
Redirect types
301 Permanent
Use a 301 redirect when a page has permanently moved to a new URL.
This is useful when:
- You rename a page URL.
- You move content to a different page.
- You remove a page and want visitors sent to a replacement page.
Example: Redirect visitors from /summer-sale to /offers.
302 Temporary
Use a 302 redirect when you want to send visitors to a different page temporarily.
This is useful for:
- Temporary promotions
- Seasonal campaigns
- Content updates or maintenance
The original URL can be used again later.
Create a redirect
- Open the site builder.
- Click the main menu icon located in the top left corner of the top bar.
- Select Settings.
4. Under Advanced Settings, select Redirects.
5. Click the + button to create a new redirect.
In the From field, enter the old URL path you want to redirect visitors from.
Note: The URL entered in the From field must not already be in use by an existing page on your site. If the URL is currently assigned to a page, you'll need to change or remove that page's URL before creating the redirect.
In the To field, select an existing page on your site or enter an external URL.
Choose the redirect type:
- 301 Permanent for a permanent move.
- 302 Temporary for a temporary move.
Click Save to save your redirect.
Once your changes have been saved, return to the Site Builder and publish your site. Publishing is required to push the redirect to your live website. Until the site is published, the redirect will not be available to visitors.
