Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 301 Redirect?
A 301 response code signals to search engines that a page has moved 'Permanently'. Google then transfers the accumulated SEO authority of the old URL to the new one.
What is a 302 Redirect?
A 302 signifies a 'Temporary' move. Search engines will not update their indexes to the new URL or pass significant link equity. Only use this for brief maintenance.
Where do I place Apache redirects?
The generated Apache rules must be placed in a hidden file named '.htaccess' at the root directory of your web server.
Where do Nginx redirects go?
Nginx does not use .htaccess files. These rules must be placed in your server block configuration file (usually in /etc/nginx/sites-available/).
Is Regex required for redirects?
It depends. Simple 1-to-1 page redirects don't require Regex, but redirecting entire directory structures safely requires pattern matching to capture variables.
