Common questions about URL redirects and SEO.
A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that tells search engines the page has moved permanently. It passes approximately 95% of the original page's link equity (ranking power) to the new URL.
Use a 301 redirect for permanent URL changes like site migrations or restructuring. Use a 302 redirect for temporary situations like A/B tests, maintenance pages, or seasonal content that will return to the original URL.
301 redirects preserve most of your SEO value and are recommended for permanent moves. However, redirect chains (A to B to C) and redirect loops hurt crawl efficiency and dilute link equity. Always aim for single-hop redirects.
Avoid redirect chains of 3 or more hops. Google follows up to 10 redirects but loses patience quickly. Single-hop redirects are best for both SEO and user experience. Audit your redirects regularly to clean up chains.
