Full transcript

Imagine you send a letter to a friend, but they've already moved to a brand new address across town and won't be coming back. That's exactly what happens on the web when a page has been 'Moved Permanently' — it has a brand new home, forever. When your browser visits the old URL, the server sends back a special signal — a 301 status code — telling it to go somewhere else immediately. Your browser obediently follows the instruction, automatically jumping to the new address without you ever having to do a single thing yourself. Search engines also take note of a 301 redirect and transfer all the original page's authority and ranking power over to the new destination URL. So a 301 Moved Permanently redirect is a clean, permanent handoff that keeps your visitors happy, your links working, and your search rankings fully intact.

Moved Permanently: The 301 Redirect Explained was created with Whiteboard Video Maker, the AI doodle video maker that turns any prompt, PDF, Word document, image or URL into an engaging whiteboard animation video — complete with AI script, hand-drawn illustrations and a natural voiceover.
