A Redirect is a feature in Drupal CMS that allows users to automatically forward visitors from one URL to another. This is useful for when a page has been moved or deleted, or when a user wants to create a shorter URL for a page. Redirects can also be used to create a more user-friendly URL for a page, or to forward visitors from an old URL to a new one.
In Drupal, Redirects are managed through the Redirect module. This module allows users to create, manage, and delete redirects from the Drupal administrative interface. When a user creates a redirect, they can specify the source URL (the URL that visitors will be redirected from) and the destination URL (the URL that visitors will be redirected to). The Redirect module also allows users to specify the type of redirect they want to use, such as a 301 redirect (permanent redirect) or a 302 redirect (temporary redirect).
Redirects are an important part of managing a website in Drupal. They help ensure that visitors are directed to the correct page, and that search engines are able to find the correct page. Redirects also help to maintain a website's SEO rankings, as search engines may penalize websites that have broken links or outdated URLs.
