How To Use Instant Redirect In Elementor Page Builder [2022]

If you’ve been using Elementor for a while, you’re probably used to working with many URLs and instant redirects while creating any sort of content. What if you could handle all of your link redirection without ever leaving the Elementor Editor panel?

And that’s where BetterLinks Instant Redirect feature in Elementor comes with the best solution. With just simple clicks you can manage your instant link redirect without even leaving the editing panel. Let’s learn more.

Let’s say that you want your old site visitors redirected directly to your new website without any hassle. What would you do for this aspect? Here you’ll need to set up instant redirects on your WordPress site so that you may redirect visitors from one page on your site to another. In today’s tutorial, we are going to take a look at how we can instantly redirect links with Betterlinks.

Use Cases Of Different Link Redirects With Examples

Simply said, redirects are a method of redirecting visitors (or search engine bots) from one URL to another when the original no longer exists. Usually, there are 3 types of link redirects.

301 Link Redirects (Permanent Redirection)

This redirection indicates that the redirect is permanent. That means if you use this redirection your site visitors or search engines will always be redirected to the new URL. Just keep in mind that whenever you are migrating your website from the old one to the new one, every time anyone types the old URL, it will instantly take them to the new destination without showing Server Error or Page Not Found.

302 For Temporary Redirection

This redirection suggests that it is only temporary. In other words, the content is still available at the same URL, but readers are being sent to a different page for the time being. In contrast, 302 redirects can be used to redirect a URL to a promotional page, a product page, or a seasonal product webpage. This form of URL redirection can also be used for tracking or website testing.

307 Temporary Redirection

A 307 redirect is a temporary redirection. This approach is ideal for short-term replacements. A 307 redirect is useful if you think the target URL may change at some time. Assume you have a special offers page that varies when different deals are launched. Because the destination content changes on a regular basis but the originating URL remains unchanged, a 307 redirect makes more sense.
