    Redirecting A Page


    Use page redirects if you have replaced a page and want to send visitors to a newer version.


    Types of redirect


    There are two different types of redirects:


    301 Permanent


    The 301 redirect indicates a permanent change. Search engines will recognize the redirect and re-index the site.


    302 Temporary


    The 302 redirect is temporary which means that the old, or original page, stays indexed with search engines. A 302 redirect should not be a permanent solution because both pages continue to be indexed, affecting search rankings between the old and new pages.
