Questions
- What is a 301 redirect?
- A permanent redirect. It tells browsers and search engines the page has moved for good, so they should use the new address.
- 301 or 302?
- Use 301 (or 308) when a move is permanent. Use 302 (or 307) only when the old address will come back.
- Why do redirect chains matter?
- Each extra step adds delay and can dilute ranking signals. Point old addresses straight at the final page.
- Is there a limit?
- We follow up to five redirects. A longer chain is reported as a problem.
