That’s the redirect status code carrying almost the entire weight of SEO when changing domain name<\/strong>, configured correctly and pointed from every old URL to its exact new equivalent. Get that wrong, or skip it, and years of rankings, backlinks, and accumulated authority go with the old address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handed over, called done, that’s how most guides treat the standard redirect checklist.
