We've improved our URL redirect implementation to ensure that browser search engines correctly handle your redirected pages.
Previously, when administrators added a new redirect to forward an http URL to an https URL, a 302 redirect was created. Since 302 redirects are considered temporary, this was causing issues with the page indexing by Google's search engine.
Now, our modification to the redirect functionality creates 301 redirects, which are considered as permanent page moves. Since search engines do not penalize 301 redirects like they do with other types of redirects, your new URLs do not lose page ranks, positions in search engine results, or back links to the original URLs.
To create a URL redirect, go to Administration > URL redirects, then click New redirect.
