Redirection​

Redirecting (changing path) from one URL to another URL allows you to direct traffic from an old web address to a new one. This is done for various reasons including SEO improvement, preventing broken links, and improving user experience. In Zoneit, this process is implemented in a simple, step-by-step manner.

Redirection Steps:​

  1. Log in to the Zoneit panel.
  2. Navigate to the "Sites" section and select your site.
  3. Go to the "Settings" section.
  4. Select the "Redirect" option.
  5. Choose between 301 (Permanent) or 302 (Temporary) redirects:
    • 301: Indicates a permanent redirect to search engines, signaling that the URL has been permanently changed.
    • 302: Indicates a temporary redirect, suggesting the URL might return to the original address.
  6. Enter the old and new URLs.
  7. Click "Create."
  8. View your current redirects and delete unnecessary ones if needed.

Why do we use redirection?​

  • SEO Improvement: Directing traffic to new URL helps search engines identify new pages and improves site ranking.
  • Preventing Broken Links: By redirecting old URLs, 404 errors are prevented and better user experience is provided.
  • Managing Site Changes: In case of domain change or site structure changes, redirection helps users be directed to new pages without confusion.

Cache and Performance Improvement​

Clearing cached files helps faster content updates and prevents displaying old versions of pages. In Zoneit, this capability is easily accessible through site settings and CDN section. Additionally, using features like file minification and Argo multi-level cache can help improve your site's speed and performance.
