How to set up redirects

Articles on: Advanced

The Redirects feature allows you to set up redirection by path for your custom domain.

For example, if you have already indexed your website and then decided to move your website to SpreadSimple, you can use redirects feature to set up redirection from your old page that was already indexed to your new page like this:

example.com/page-1/

to

example.com/page-1

Or set a redirection from one page to another one:

example.com/page-1

to

example.com/page-2

.

To set redirect rules

• In your website Manage options go to the Settings Tab -> Redirects menu:
  
  
  
  
• Enter the paths from which you want to redirect and to which one in the corresponding fields:
  
  
  
  
• Select status code (the server response code):
  
  
  
  
  301 - Moved Permanently
  302 - Moved Temporarily
  303 - See Other
  307 - Temporary Redirect
  308 - Permanent Redirect
  
  Quick tip: Not sure what status code you should use? Leave the default status (301), it should work well in most of the cases
  
  And save the changes.
  
  Please note that you can set redirection only using the path of your custom domain, e.g. example.com/page.
  It is not possible to set redirects for SpreadSimple subdomain spread.name, e.g. example.spread.name/page -> example.com/page.
