Redirects and missing pages
Send old addresses to new ones (301, 302, 307, 410, 451), automatically when a page’s address changes, and see the missing pages people and search engines still visit.
Add a redirect#
Native AI → SEO → Redirects: the old address, the new one, the type and how it matches.
| Type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| 301 Moved | A page that moved for good (the usual choice: search engines move its standing to the new address). |
| 302 / 307 Temporary | A page that’s elsewhere for now. |
| 410 Gone | A page removed on purpose, with nothing to replace it. |
| 451 Unavailable | A page removed for legal reasons. |
| Matches | Example |
|---|---|
| Exactly | /old-page/ → /new-page/. Letter case and a trailing slash don’t matter. |
| Starts with | /blog/ → /news/* sends /blog/2024/hello to /news/2024/hello (the * keeps the rest). |
| Regular expression | ^/product/(\d+)$ → /shop/item-$1/. |
Each redirect counts its hits and when it was last used; switch one off without deleting it. Import and export them as CSV.
Automatic redirects#
When a published page’s address changes (its slug or its parent), a 301 from the old address is added, and redirects that pointed at the old address point at the new one — so nothing chains. Switch it off in SEO → Settings → Redirects & 404s.
Missing pages#
Missing pages lists every address that answered “not found”: how often, when first and last, where the last visitor came from, and whether it was a browser or a bot. Redirect fills in the old address for you. Probes for admin files and scripts aren’t kept, and entries not visited for 30 days (you choose) are removed.
