What is URL Redirect and how does it work?

URL Redirection, also known as URL Forwarding, is a method that directs website visitors from one web address (URL) to another. This redirection can be implemented to guide users to a different page, a different website, or even a different domain entirely.

Redirects utilize status codes defined within the HTTP protocol to indicate the nature of the redirection. Common types of URL redirection include:

301 (Permanent Redirect): This signals to search engines and browsers that the original URL has been permanently moved to a new location. Search engines will update their indexes accordingly.
302 (Temporary Redirect): This indicates that the redirection is temporary, and the original URL may become active again in the future.
URL Frame (Masked Redirect): In this method, the original URL remains displayed in the browser's address bar, while the content of the target URL is loaded within a frame on the page.
