What is a 301 Redirect?

Moving your store to a new platform or URL? Learn how 301 redirects protect your SEO rankings and prevent broken links after migration.

When you migrate your store to a new platform, your URLs often change. A 301 redirect tells browsers and search engines that a page has permanently moved to a new URL, so visitors are automatically sent to the right place, and your SEO rankings are preserved.

Example

Old URL: https://example.com/old-page 
301 Redirect → New URL: https://example.com/new-page

Why It Matters After Migration?

  • Prevents customers from landing on broken or missing pages

  • Passes SEO value (link equity) from old URLs to new ones

  • Keeps your Google rankings stable during and after the switch


When to Set Up 301 Redirects?

  • When migrating to a new domain or platform

  • When your URL structure changes on the new store (e.g., /home, home.example.com, www.example.com)

  • When consolidating duplicate pages
