301 redirect

A permanent move of an address to a new URL.

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one address to another. It passes almost all of the old URL's "SEO power" and is the right choice when changing addresses, migrating or merging pages. Over time Google replaces the old URL with the new one in the index.
