Best Practices
Avoid Redirect Chains and Loops
301
Use the Correct Status
Use 301 or 308 for permanent moves, and 302 or 307 when the change is genuinely temporary.
→
Redirect to the Final URL
Avoid old URL → temporary URL → final URL chains. Send users directly to the final destination.
✓
Test Before Publishing
Incorrect server rules can produce loops, 500 errors or unexpected matches. Always test safely.
What Is a 301 Redirect?

A 301 redirect tells browsers and search engines that a resource has permanently moved to a new URL. It is commonly used when changing a page slug, consolidating duplicate pages, moving from HTTP to HTTPS, migrating domains or replacing old content. For a detailed explanation and implementation tips, read our
301 Redirect Generator Guide.

A good redirect should send the old URL directly to the most relevant live destination. Redirecting every removed page to the homepage can be confusing and may not preserve the original page intent.
301 vs 302 vs 307 vs 308
  • 301: Permanent redirect and the most common SEO migration status.
  • 302: Temporary redirect.
  • 307: Temporary redirect that preserves the request method.
  • 308: Permanent redirect that preserves the request method.
Recommended Redirect Checklist
  • Back up the existing server configuration.
  • Redirect each old page to a closely matching live page.
  • Avoid duplicate source rules and redirect loops.
  • Update internal links so they point directly to the final URL.
  • Update canonical tags and XML sitemap URLs after migrations.
  • Test status codes and destinations after deployment.

A 301 redirect is an HTTP status code that indicates a resource has moved permanently to a new URL. Browsers and search engines are instructed to use the new destination.


Use a 301 redirect when a page, post, product, category or entire website has permanently moved to a new address.


A 301 redirect represents a permanent move, while a 302 redirect represents a temporary move. Choose the status that matches the actual situation.


Incorrect redirects can create chains, loops, soft 404s or irrelevant destinations. Redirect each old URL directly to the most relevant final URL.
