# Add redirects

Redirects point one URL to another — essential when you rename pages so old links (and search rankings) keep working.

## Steps

1. Go to **Websites → [site] → Redirects**.
2. Click **Add redirect**.
3. Enter the **source path** (the old URL) and the **destination** (the new URL).
4. Choose the type:
   - **301 (permanent)** — passes SEO value; use when the change is permanent.
   - **302 (temporary)** — for temporary moves.
5. Save and test by visiting the old URL.

## Troubleshooting

- **Redirect loop** — make sure the destination isn't redirecting back to the source.
- **Not applying** — purge the cache; confirm the source path matches exactly (with/without trailing slash).
