Is It OK to Remove 301 Redirects After a Year? [Answered]
A 301 redirect is an HTTP status code that redirects users (and search engines) from one page to another. It indicates that a page has moved permanently.
Ahrefs contributor Patrick Stox has published an article answering the question ‘Is It OK to Remove 301 Redirects After a Year?’.
He says, “I removed redirects to these pages on January 30, 2023:
- https://ahrefs.com/blog/content-syndication/
- https://ahrefs.com/blog/structured-data/
- https://ahrefs.com/blog/keyword-search-volume/
- https://ahrefs.com/blog/what-is-https/
These posts were chosen because they had older posts redirected to them. Those older posts were about the same topics and had enough links and referring domains that I thought removing them would have a visible impact.”
