Redirecting 404 links

Links to store pages that were used in the network on other pages can be read in the Google Search Console

Redirect old 404 links using 301 redirects to a similar page with current offer.

Let's assume that the old link is a product https://shop.example.com/woolen-sweater.html

• To redirect to another product enter:
  /woolen-sweater.html https://shop.example.com/woolen-sweater-green.html
• or to redirect to a category enter:
  /woolen-sweater.html https://shop.example.com/category/sweaters

You can use * to redirect similar links e.g.
*sweater https://shop.example.com/category/sweaters
It will redirect all links with the word sweater to the sweaters category:

• https://shop.example.com/sweater-woolen.html
• https://shop.example.com/category/sweater-woolen.html
• https://shop.example.com/my-sweater

The redirect works if the page is not in the shop's offer.
When entering an existing page in the module, the shop's offer is displayed.
The higher the address entered in the field, the higher the priority of the redirect.
