This section provides an overview of the document structure for redirects in our system. Below is a list of common elements and their descriptions.
- Redirect Path: The path to which requests are redirected.
- Source Path: The path that is being redirected.
- Status Code: The HTTP status code that is returned when the redirect occurs.
- Language: The language of the content to be served.
- Parameters: Additional parameters that may be included in the redirect.
For more information on managing redirects, please refer to the Redirect Management Guide.
Here are some common redirect scenarios:
Permanent Redirect (301): This is used when a page has been moved permanently. It signals to search engines that the page has been permanently moved.
Temporary Redirect (302): This is used when a page is temporarily moved. It signals to search engines that the page may be moved back in the future.
Found (302): This is similar to the temporary redirect but is used for user agents (browsers) rather than search engines.
Not Found (404): This occurs when a requested resource is not found on the server.
For a deeper understanding of HTTP status codes, visit the HTTP Status Codes Reference.
Here is an example of a redirect in action:
- Source Path:
/old-page - Redirect Path:
/new-page - Status Code:
301 - Moved Permanently
When setting up redirects, it's important to ensure they are correctly implemented to avoid any issues with user experience and search engine rankings.
