Open Redirections

Go to:

SEO Repair Kit → Redirection → Redirections

---

Understand Redirect Analytics

At the top of the page, review Redirect Analytics.

Four summary cards are displayed.

Total Hits

Shows the total number of recorded hits across your redirects.

Total Redirections

Shows the total number of redirect rules.

Active Redirections

Shows the number of redirects currently marked as active.

Most Hit Redirect

Shows the redirect with the highest recorded hit activity.

Click Refresh when you want to reload the displayed analytics.

If the full Redirections screenshot already shows these cards clearly, you do not need a separate screenshot here.

---

Add a New Redirection

Find:

Add New Redirection

To create a redirect, you need to define where the request comes from and where it should go.

---

Enter the Source URL

In Source URL, enter the URL you want to redirect from.

For example:

/old-page/

The Source URL represents the old, changed, or otherwise redirected location.

---

Enter the Target URL

In Target URL, enter the destination to which the visitor should be redirected.

For example:

/new-page/

Make sure the destination is relevant to the original URL and is the location you actually want visitors to reach.

---

Select the Redirect Type

Open the Redirect Type dropdown and choose the appropriate redirect type.

The screenshot shows:

301 – Moved Permanently

A 301 redirect is intended for a URL that has permanently moved to a new destination.

Important: Your current screenshot only confirms 301 – Moved Permanently as a visible selection. If you want the documentation to explain every redirect type available in the dropdown, take one screenshot with the dropdown open so we can document the exact available options without guessing.

---

Use Regular Expression

The form also provides:

Use Regular Expression

This option is intended for redirect rules that use a regular-expression pattern instead of a simple URL match.

For a normal one-to-one redirect such as:

/old-page/ → /new-page/

leave this option disabled.

Use regular expressions only when the redirect rule intentionally requires pattern matching.

---

Create the Redirect

After entering the required information:

1. Enter the Source URL.
2. Enter the Target URL.
3. Select the appropriate Redirect Type.
4. Enable Use Regular Expression only when required.
5. Click Add Redirection.

The new redirect is then added to the Existing Redirections area.

---

Understand Existing Redirections

The Existing Redirections table displays your current redirect rules.

The table includes:

Source URL

The URL from which the redirect starts.

Target URL

The destination URL.

Type

Shows the redirect type, such as 301.

Status

Shows the current status of the redirect.

Your screenshot shows Active.

Source

Shows how the redirect was created.

For example, the screenshot contains MANUAL for a manually created redirect.

Hits

Shows the number of recorded times the redirect has been triggered.

Actions

Provides management actions for the redirect.

The current interface includes:

• Edit
• Delete
• Reset Hits

---

Edit a Redirect

Click Edit beside the redirect you want to change.

Review the Source URL, Target URL, redirect type, and other available settings carefully before saving your changes.

After editing a redirect, test the Source URL again to confirm it leads to the intended destination.

---

Delete a Redirect

Click Delete when a redirect rule is no longer required.

Important: Deleting the redirect means requests to that Source URL will no longer be handled by that redirect rule.

---

Reset Hits for a Redirect

Click Reset Hits to reset the recorded hit count for an individual redirect.

This affects the hit statistics; it does not mean the redirect itself has been deleted.

---

Reset All Hits

Use:

Reset All Hits

to reset hit counts across the redirect records.

Use this carefully if historical hit information is important for your reporting.

---

Manage Multiple Redirects

Use the checkboxes in Existing Redirections to select records.

Then use:

Bulk Actions → Apply

to perform an available bulk operation on the selected records.

Review your selection before applying a bulk action.

---

Test Your Redirect

After creating or modifying a redirect:

1. Open the Source URL.
2. Confirm that it redirects.
3. Confirm that the correct Target URL opens.
4. Return to Redirection if you need to review the recorded hit information.
