2. In the Domains section, click Redirects.

   • Permanent (301) – for permanent moves; search engines adopt the new address.
   • Temporary (302) – for temporary redirects.
4. Under https?://(www.)?, select the domain or subdomain. For a single page, enter its path in the field next to it (e.g. old).

6. For www. redirection, usually choose Redirect with or without www..
7. Click Add.
