How to Create a 301 or 302 Redirect?
301 or 302 Redirect – When you are moving your site to a new domain or shortening the URLs of your web pages to make it more user-friendly or SEO-friendly. Perhaps, you want to temporarily or permanently force your web visitors to land on a specific web page . In such a case, you need to redirect your URLs so that your web visitors do not end up in the wrong place, and instead land on the correct web page. Further, you also need to tell the search engines’ (Google, Bing, and like) crawlers that your site or URL has moved, so that they can crawl it to display or rank it in their search results.
