  • **Local URL Path: ** This is the address from which the redirect applies. The sign / means that the entire domain (example.se) will be redirected to Destination URL. You can also choose to redirect only a specific URL by specifying e.g. /about us. Then only the address example.se/om-us will be redirected to Destination URL.

  • Redirect Type: Here you choose which type of redirection to use. The type of redirect you choose matters most to the search engines, but to the user, they work the same way.

  • 301 means that the redirect is considered permanent, that you do not plan to change this redirect in the future. POST/PUT/DELETE cannot be requested from the new address.

  • 302 means that the redirect is considered to change in the future. POST/PUT/DELETE cannot be requested from the new address

  • 303 is does the same thing as 302, but with 303 you can make GET calls from the new address. POST/PUT/DELETE cannot be requested from the new address.

  • Destination URL: Here you choose the new address for where your redirect should lead the visitor. If you type https://example.com, the visitor will end up at that address.
