Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect?
A 301 redirect is permanent and tells search engines to transfer all SEO value to the new URL. A 302 redirect is temporary and keeps the original URL indexed. Use 301 for permanent URL changes and 302 for temporary ones.
Which redirect format should I use?
Use .htaccess redirects for Apache servers, Nginx config for Nginx servers, meta refresh for HTML-only solutions, and JavaScript for client-side redirects. Server-side redirects (htaccess/Nginx) are preferred for SEO.
How do I redirect an entire domain to a new one?
For domain migrations, set the old URL as the domain root (e.g., https://old-domain.com/) and the new URL as the new domain root. Use 301 redirects so search engines transfer all rankings to the new domain.
