Redirects & SEO
Maintain your search engine rankings and ensure visitors never land on a broken link.
Creating URL Redirects
When you change a page's URL or delete old content, it's important to set up a redirect.
- Go to Content -> Redirects.
- Click Create Redirect.
- Old Slug: Enter the previous URL path (e.g.,
old-product-name). - New Slug: Enter the new internal path (e.g.,
new-product-name) or a full external URL. - Redirect Type:
- 301 (Permanent): Best for SEO. Tells search engines the page has moved permanently.
- 302 (Temporary): Use if the move is only for a short period.
- Hits Tracking: SitePack tracks how many times each redirect has been used, helping you identify active traffic paths.
SEO Best Practices in SitePack
- Meta Titles & Descriptions: Edit these within the individual page editor to control how your site appears in search results.
- Search Engine Visibility: If your site is still under construction, you can "Block Search Engines" in Settings -> General to prevent unfinished pages from being indexed.
- Clean URLs: Use short, descriptive slugs for your pages and products to improve readability for both humans and search engines.
