Stupid Question 🙋‍♂️ How Important is a re-direct?

Just finished uploading new different site… did a redirect in December 2025

Does it have to be updated? Continually?

Thanx

I believe redirects are temporary with Google search console, so as long as your sitemap lists the new page it should replace the old one once Google re-crawls and indexes.

I just changed and updated the legacy 301 re-directs…

They were going no where as 60 pages changed name and position

So - just to be safe - fixed them

Thank you Daz - didn’t think about the site map update…

It would have been conflicting information? Legacy to non existent address and new site map to new address?

Hopefully it is sorted now…

Thank you
