Configure redirects

Redirects move a request from one address to another — HTTP to HTTPS, an old domain to a new one, or a retired page to the home page.

1 Common redirect types

2 Steps

1. Open the site’s “Advanced settings → Redirect rules”;
2. Choose the redirect type, then fill in source and target;
3. Pick the status code (301 permanent / 302 temporary);
4. Save and restart the site.

3 Recommendations

• Use 301 for permanent, production redirects;
• Use 302 for campaign pages and temporary maintenance;
• Turning on “HTTP to HTTPS” upgrades every plain request automatically.
