Redirects

Last updated on June 26, 2024.

Redirects are a mechanism that automatically sends a user from one web page to another. They serve a variety of purposes, such as updating website URLs when webpages are renamed or moved. Without redirects, users who have saved bookmarks or links to the old URLs would encounter a '404 Not Found' error when they try to access the pages, leading to a frustrating or suboptimal user experience.

Redirects can also be used to improve website performance by redirecting users to cached versions of webpages or to geographically closer servers. They can also be used to fix broken links by redirecting users to working webpages. In addition, redirects can maintain search engine rankings even when website URLs are changed.

Important

You can create and manage redirects using the Instance Admin. Please visit our Instance Admin documentation on Redirects for more details.
