Best Practices
Expert tips for managing redirects effectively
Minimize Redirect Chains
Each hop in a redirect chain adds 50-300ms of latency and can dilute link equity. Aim for direct redirects (A→B) instead of chains (A→B→C→D). Update old redirect targets to point directly to the final URL.
Use 301 for Permanent Moves
Always use 301 (permanent) redirects for URL changes, site migrations, or domain moves. This tells search engines to transfer ranking signals to the new URL. Reserve 302 for genuinely temporary situations.
Audit After Site Migrations
After redesigns or platform changes, check all your old URLs for proper redirects. Broken redirects (404s where redirects should exist) are the most common cause of traffic loss during migrations.
Check Both HTTP and HTTPS
Verify that HTTP versions of your URLs properly redirect to HTTPS. Mixed protocol redirects are a common source of redirect chains and can cause security warnings for visitors.
