What is a Redirect?
A redirect is a way to send both users and search engines to a different URL from the one they originally requested.
Redirects help you forward visitors automatically from an Original URL (the source) to the New URL (the destination). Typically, this is used when an old or broken page is not accessible and the content has moved to a different URL or has been deleted. To redirect visitors to your site’s homepage, just use / (forward slash) as New URL.
Pixpa does support 301 redirect which is a permanent redirect that passes between 90-99% of link juice (ranking power) to the redirected page. In most instances, the 301 redirect is the best method for implementing redirects on a website.
To create a redirect, follow these steps:
- Enter redirects (1) in the Search Bar.
- From the related results, click on the URL Redirects option (2).
- You will now reach the 301 Redirects (1) page.
- Click on the Create a Redirect (2) button.
- Enter your Original URL (3) and New URL (4) path.
- For example, if your original URL is https://www.abc.com/examples and your new URL is https://www.abc.com/galleries, you need to add /examples in the original URL and /galleries in the new URL.
- Save (5) your changes.
Note: Forward slash / is mandatory before your original URL and new URL path.
You cannot redirect certain paths because they are reserved for the system as /store or /private or /cart or /site etc.
Delete a redirect:
- You can delete a 301 redirect by clicking on the close icon next to it.
