FAQ
Before you use it.
How many redirects are too many?+
Direct redirects are easiest to maintain. Chains with multiple hops waste crawl time, increase latency and make migrations harder to debug.
Should permanent redirects use 301 or 308?+
Both signal permanence. A 308 also guarantees that the HTTP method and request body are preserved.
