Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 301 and 302?
A 301 is a permanent move and passes signals to the new URL. A 302 is temporary, meaning the original address is expected to come back.
Why avoid redirect chains?
Each extra hop adds delay. Point old URLs directly at the final address.
