Lesson 2 of 5 · Redirects

Redirect moved pages properly

What it is

When a page moves, use a single permanent (301) redirect to the closest new page.

Why it matters

Redirect chains and wrong redirect types slow pages and lose value.

✓ Good example

/old-page → /new-page in one hop.

✗ Common mistake

/old → /temp → /new → /home.

Try it: redirect chain

  1. /old-water-heaters
  2. → /temp-page
  3. → /services
  4. → /water-heater-installation
3 hops

You pass when: Moved pages reach the right page in one hop.
