Redirection is needed if you have changed the site address and do not want to lose visitors who will visit the old address. Forwarding can be done in such a way that users will not even notice that they were sent to a different address. Several ways to implement redirection have been considered.

Step 1
The safest way of redirecting in terms of indexing the main search engines is redirecting using error 301. This will save the PR and TIC parameters of each page, and the new and old addresses will be combined with each other. To implement it, find the.htaccess file in the root directory of the site and insert the following lines into it
Options + FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (. *) “Your new address” / $ 1 [R = 301, L]
Your visitor will now be redirected to a new site with the address “your new address”.
Step 2
You can redirect using the command Redirect 301 /older_page.html “new page address”, but this method is not very convenient, especially when your site contains a large number of pages, since you have to write the command separately for each of them. You can just as well use the RedirectPermanent / "old address" "new address" command, which implements the same function.
You can redirect using a script. To do this, insert the following lines into the page header:
HTTP / 1.2 301 Moved Permanenty
Location: https:// "new page address"
Step 3
For static sites, such as those on free hosting, you can implement redirects using HTML tags. To do this, use the tag, where new_site.html is the address of the new site to which the redirection will be made from this page, and content = 6 is the time delay before the new page is loaded into the browser window. Set this parameter to zero, and you will make the redirect instant, as a result, the site visitor will not notice that he was sent to a new address.
