The Redirection & 404 Error Logs section in Ladder SEO helps you manage redirects efficiently while keeping track of 404 errors on your site. Proper redirection ensures a smooth user experience and maintains SEO rankings by preventing broken links.
π Redirection #
Easily create and manage redirections through a popup form. Once added, all configured redirects are displayed in a table format, allowing you to review and manage them efficiently.
π Redirection Form Fields #
- Source URL β The original URL that users and search engines try to access.

- Redirection Type β Select the type of redirect:
- 301 (Moved Permanently) β Ideal for permanently moved content, preserving SEO value.
