Redirect Management
Manage URL redirects from Redirects in the admin panel. Redirects help preserve SEO value when URLs change and fix broken links.
Creating a Redirect
- Click Add Redirect
- Enter the Source URL - the old/broken URL (relative path, e.g.,
/old-page) - Enter the Destination URL - where to redirect (relative or absolute)
- Select the redirect type
- Click Save
Redirect Types
| Type | HTTP Code | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent | 301 | Page permanently moved - transfers SEO value |
| Temporary | 302 | Temporary redirect - does not transfer SEO value |
| See Other | 303 | Redirect after POST (rarely needed manually) |
Wildcard Redirects
Use * as a wildcard in source URLs to redirect entire URL patterns:
Source: /old-category/*
Destination: /new-category/*This redirects /old-category/my-article → /new-category/my-article
Import / Export
You can import redirects from a CSV file with columns: source,destination,type. Export your existing redirects as CSV for backup or migration.
404 Log
SiteX automatically logs 404 (Not Found) errors. Review the log in Redirects → 404 Log to identify broken links that need redirects.
