Redirect Manager

The TamRank Redirect Manager lets you create, edit, and monitor URL redirects to preserve SEO value and improve user experience.

Accessing the Redirect Manager

Navigate to TamRank → Redirects in your WordPress admin.

Creating a Redirect

1. Click Add New Redirect
2. Enter the Source URL (the old URL)
3. Enter the Target URL (where to redirect)
4. Select the Redirect Type
5. Click Save Redirect

Redirect Types

When to Use 301

• Moving to a new domain
• Changing URL structure
• Consolidating duplicate content
• Deleting a page but have a relevant alternative

When to Use 302

• A/B testing
• Temporary maintenance page
• Seasonal content changes

Bulk Import

Import multiple redirects at once:

1. Go to TamRank → Redirects → Import
2. Upload a CSV file with columns:
   • source_url
   • target_url
   • type (301, 302, etc.)
3. Click Import

Managing Existing Redirects

The redirect list shows:

• Source URL
• Target URL
• Type
• Hits (how many times used)
• Last accessed date

Actions available:

• Edit: Modify the redirect
• Delete: Remove the redirect
• Test: Verify it’s working

Best Practices

1. Always redirect to relevant content – Don’t redirect unrelated pages
2. Avoid redirect chains – A → B → C is bad, A → C is better
3. Update internal links – Don’t rely solely on redirects
4. Monitor 404s – Create redirects for common 404 errors
5. Keep redirects active – Maintain them for at least 1 year

Automatic Redirects

TamRank can automatically create redirects when you:

• Change a post’s URL slug
• Move a page to a different parent

Enable this in TamRank → Settings → Redirects → Auto-redirect on slug change
