class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WordPress is a widely used Content Management System (CMS) that&#8217;s open-source and easy to use. However, not everyone can code or has the time to create their website from scratch. This is where the beauty of plugins comes in handy. WordPress plugins allow you to extend and enhance the functionality of your website in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Redirection_and_Its_Importance\"><\/span>Understanding Redirection and Its Importance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Redirection is the process of forwarding one URL to another. If you have recently updated your website and changed the URL of a page, this plugin allows you to redirect visitors who might be trying to access the old URL to the new one smoothly. Proper redirection ensures visitors won&#8217;t get a 404 error, which can negatively impact search engine rankings and users&#8217; experience with your site. The two main types of redirects are permanent (301) and temporary (302).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Redirection_Important_for_Your_Website\"><\/span>Why is Redirection Important for Your Website?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Maintains search engine rankings after website updates or changes<\/li>\n<li>Ensures visitors can find your website&#8217;s correct page or redirect old links and bookmarks<\/li>\n<li>Helps to monitor the pages and posts receiving the most traffic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_the_Redirection_Plugin_in_WordPress\"><\/span>How to Use the Redirection Plugin in WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Install_and_Activate_the_Redirection_Plugin\"><\/span>Step 1: Install and Activate the Redirection Plugin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To install, go to Plugins > Add New in your dashboard, then search for &#8220;Redirection&#8221; and activate it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Create_a_Redirect\"><\/span>Step 2: Create a Redirect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Navigate to Tools > Redirection in your WordPress dashboard to create a new redirection.
