Redirects
A redirect automatically sends someone from one web address (URL) to another. Use it when you delete or rename a page, or reorganize your site, so visitors following the old address reach the right page instead of an error.
Come here when you delete or disable a page that received traffic, when you rename the URL of a blog article or a product page, when you migrate from an old site whose URLs were different, or when you want to redirect a page temporarily during a promotional campaign.
The dashboard is shown in French, with English captions.

Redirects
This section lists every redirect rule active on your site. Each rule consists of a source address and a destination address, along with a redirect type that tells search engines whether the redirect is permanent or temporary, an important choice to preserve your site's SEO.
Click Add a rule to create a new redirect, then fill in:
- Source address: the URL to redirect, always starting with
/(e.g./home). It's the address the visitor types or clicks on. - Destination address: the URL to redirect to, also relative (e.g.
/blogs). - Redirect: the type of redirect to apply, chosen according to the table below.
| Type | When to use it | SEO impact |
|---|---|---|
| 301 Permanent redirect | The page has been permanently moved to a new URL | Search engines transfer the SEO value from the old URL to the new one |
| 302 Temporary redirect | The page has been moved temporarily and you intend to restore the original URL | No transfer of SEO value, the old URL stays indexed |
To delete a rule that's no longer needed, click the delete icon to the right of the row. If no rule is defined, a presentation screen appears instead; the Add my first rule button creates the first row directly.
