Redirect Configuration
Updated 2 July 2026
Redirects send visitors from one URL to another. Use them after renaming pages, changing domains, or forcing HTTPS.
This article explains common redirect methods and how to configure them cleanly to avoid SEO and user experience issues.
Methods
- 301 redirect: permanent; passes most SEO value. Configure in
.htaccess, nginx config, or a redirect plugin. - WordPress settings: set the site URL under Settings > General.
- CDN rules: Cloudflare page rules or transform rules.
Avoid redirect chains (A to B to C). Point directly to the final URL.
