301 Redirect
301 redirect refers to a code sent by a website’s hosting server to a browser. In practice, it means you’ll get redirected to a new page when you input the old URL.
For website administrators, 301 redirects shouldn’t be used in excess, but can be a good way to deliver relevant pages to users when the original page has been removed or the content has been merged into another page.
From an SEO perspective, the old page’s ranking will transfer to the new page.
