The Secret Blueprint to Changing Your Domain Name Without Losing a Single Visitor
If you change your domain name without redirects, old links to your site in search results, other websites, and social media will lead to broken pages and 404 error messages. That’s why they are essential to preserve traffic, SEO value, and usability, and need to be planned in advance.
There are different kinds of redirects. The one most relevant here is the 301 redirect, which signals that a page has permanently moved.
Make a list of your most important pages — blog posts, product pages, landing pages, and any content that gets consistent traffic — and plan their counterparts on the new domain.
