A Technical SEO Guide to Redirects [Guide]
The term redirect means that users are automatically directed to web page B when calling up web page A without having to make any entries.
Search Engine Journal contributor Vahan Petrosyan has published ‘A Technical SEO Guide to Redirects’.
He says, “When we talk about a redirect, what we’re talking about is a server response. It’s a response to a request for a URL.
If the URL exists at a different URL (because it was moved), the server tells the user agent that the URL request is being redirected to a different URL.
The response code for a changed URL is usually in the form of a 301 or 302 response status code.
The entire 3xx series of response codes communicate much information that can optionally be acted upon by the user agent.
An example of an action that the user agent can take is to save a cache of the new URL so that the next time the old URL is requested, it will ask for the new URL instead.”
