When should I use redirect?

Redirects are used when moving content to a new URL, when deleting pages or when changing domain names or merging websites. Whenever possible avoid using redirects. When you have to use them, make sure to follow these best practices: Avoid chained redirects: one redirect should not forward to another redirect.

What is the purpose of redirect?

A redirect is a way to send both users and search engines to a different URL from the one they originally requested. The three most commonly used redirects are 301, 302, and Meta Refresh.

When would it be necessary to 301 redirect every page on asite?

301 redirects should be used when a page is no longer relevant, useful or has been removed. They are also really valuable for site rebuilds, where URLs are tidied up into the newer, cleaner pages. It is very important to redirect any old URLs that won't be staying the same on a rebuild of your website.
