These links might be from other sites that have not realized that there is a change or from bookmarks/favorites that users have saved in their browsers.
With URL redirects, incoming links to an outdated URL can be sent to the correct location.
an author might move their individual pages to a new domain. a site might desire, or need, to change its domain name. Web pages may be redirected to a new domain for three reasons: This technique is often used to "reserve" other top-level domains (TLD) with the same name, or make it easier for a ".edu" or ".net" site to accommodate users who type ".com". Organizations often register these "misspelled" domains and redirect them to the "correct" location. A website operator may decide to serve such requests by redirecting the browser to the HTTPS variant instead and hopefully also priming HSTS for future accesses.Ī user might mistype a URL. Otherwise the website will be contacted over HTTP. There are several reasons to use URL redirection:Ī website may potentially be accessible over both a secure HTTPS URI scheme and plain HTTP (an insecure URI beginning with " If a user types in a URI or clicks on a link that refers to the insecure variant, the browser will automatically redirect to the secure version in case the website is contained in the HSTS preload list shipped with the application or if the user had already visited the origin in the past. for hostile purposes such as phishing attacks or malware distribution. to guide navigation into and out of a website. to allow multiple domain names belonging to the same owner to refer to a single web site. to prevent broken links when web pages are moved. URL redirection is done for various reasons: Similarly, domain redirection or domain forwarding is when all pages in a URL domain are redirected to a different domain, as when and are automatically redirected to. When a web browser attempts to open a URL that has been redirected, a page with a different URL is opened. 
URL redirection, also called URL forwarding, is a World Wide Web technique for making a web page available under more than one URL address. For URL redirection on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Redirect.
