Avoid broken links with redirects
Moving or deleting website content happens. But broken links frustrate visitors and hurt your SEO. Redirects fix this by sending users and search engines to the right place. Managing all these rules can get messy, but Yoast SEO’s Redirect Manager makes it easy.
Why do you need a redirect manager?
Deleting a page doesn’t remove it from search results. Visitors might still click and hit a 404 error. That frustrates users and breaks their journey.
Yoast SEO’s Redirect Manager fixes this. It creates and tracks redirects so no one gets lost. Even better? It sets them up automatically when you move or delete content. Less work for you, smoother experience for visitors, and search engines stay happy.
Create redirects when you delete pages
When you delete a post or page, we’ll immediately ask you what you’d like to do with the old URL. To make things easier, we’ll give you the most common options to choose from.
Full control over types
Choose redirect types and HTTP statuses
There are different reasons to move or delete a page, and so there are different types of redirects. You can manage all of those different types of redirects and HTTP statuses seamlessly, and pick the best one for each case.
301 (Permanent redirect)
When search engines encounter a 301 redirect, they follow it to the new destination and pass all relevant ranking and context signals to that URL. The redirect manager automatically creates 301 redirects when you delete or move your pages.
410 (Content deleted)
You can use this redirect when you delete a post or page for good, and you know it will not be coming back. The 410 code tells search engines to remove the page from their index. That’s the fastest, most reliable way to permanently remove content from search engines.
302 (Found) and 307 (Temporary redirect)
Sometimes, you might only be moving a page temporarily, say, for a special offer, or unexpected event. In these cases, you can configure a temporary redirect, which can help search engines to better understand your situation. That’ll keep the right pages ranking and ensure everything returns to normal once you remove the redirect.
451 (Content unavailable for legal reasons)
It’s rare to need to use a 451 status, but it can come in handy if you ever have to remove content for legal reasons.
Automatic redirects
No more 404 errors. Redirects update instantly when you move or delete pages
Import or export redirects
Already have redirects? Import them from a CSV file. Need bulk changes? Export your rules, edit, and re-upload
Bulk redirects with REGEX
Redirect hundreds of URLs at once. Use REGEX patterns to match groups of pages and redirect them quickly
