301 Redirect

Redirect your old URLs to new links without much of a hustle. 301 is an HTTP status code sent by a web server to a browser to indicate a permanent redirect. This means that requests for the old URL will automatically be redirected to the new URL. The ranking power from the old URL is also transferred to the new URL through a 301 redirect, making it the most common type of redirect used when a page has been permanently moved or removed from a website.

When you change some webpage URLs that might be bookmarked by other customers, then they will get an error that the page is not found. Now using 301 redirect, you can provide new URLs for the old ones that don't exist anymore, so the customers will be redirected automatically to the new URL when they go to their bookmarked URL, which has been moved.
