If you’re deleting a large number of redirects (100+), the process may take a few minutes to complete. You can continue working and we’ll send you an email when it’s done.

Tips for managing redirects

After making changes, visit the old URL in your browser to verify the redirect works correctly and points to the right destination.
Review your redirect list periodically (quarterly or during major site updates) and remove any that are no longer needed.
Never create a redirect that points back to itself or creates a circular chain (A→B→C→A). This will break your site navigation.

​
What happens after editing or deleting

After editing:
  • Changes take effect immediately
  • Visitors will be redirected to the new destination
  • SEO signals transfer to the updated URL
  • The redirect appears updated in your redirect list
After deleting:
  • The redirect is removed immediately
  • Visitors get a 404 error if they access the old URL
  • The redirect is permanently removed from your list
  • Broken link tracking will detect visits to the deleted “Redirect from” URL
