Keep old links working even when an address changes. A redirect is a rule: anyone opening the source URL is automatically sent to the destination. That keeps bookmarks, links on other sites and search results from ending on a 404 page when content moves, changes address or is removed.
Manage redirects under Settings → Website → Redirects. Each rule shows how many times it has been used and when it was last hit, so you can see which old URLs still receive traffic.
If you only changed a page URL, you usually do not need to add anything manually. When the URL of a published page, news item or event changes, Demona creates a 301 redirect from the old address to the new one and updates header and footer links that point to it. Add redirects yourself when content is removed or when moving URLs from an older website.
/old-about./about, or a full external URL (https://…).The source path is an exact match. It cannot contain spaces, query parameters after ? or a # anchor, and each source can have only one rule. A trailing slash does not matter: /old-about/ and /old-about are treated as the same path.
All four send the visitor to the destination. The difference is what the redirect tells browsers and search engines.
The right choice in most cases. It signals that the new URL should replace the old one. Bulk imports use 301 by default.
Use when the move is temporary, for example during a campaign or maintenance period. The original URL remains the canonical long-term location.
A stricter permanent redirect used mainly in technical cases where the request method must be preserved. Most normal websites do not need it.

If you are signed in and open a URL that does not exist, the error page shows a Redirect action at the top. Choose where the old address should lead, save it, and the redirect becomes active immediately. This is the fastest route when someone spots a broken link. Use the full Settings → Website → Redirects list for larger maintenance jobs, edits and deletions.
A website migration can require hundreds of redirects. Prepare an XLSX or CSV file with these columns:
from_path — the old address,to_path — the new address,status_code — optional; if blank, 301 is used.Upload it with Excel import. At the end, Demona shows how many rules were created, updated or skipped. If a source path already has a rule, the import replaces it. You can also use Excel export to download the current list, edit it in a spreadsheet and upload it again.
A redirect takes priority over existing content at its source URL. If content still exists there, visitors are sent to the redirect destination instead. If you later create a new page, news item or event at that same address, Demona removes the old redirect automatically so it does not hide the new content.
Some redirect behaviour is handled automatically.
If A → B and B → C, visitors are sent directly to C. Demona follows chains up to five steps.
If A → B and B → A, the redirect does not run, preventing an endless loop. Fix the destination before relying on the rule.
Redirect rules affect page navigation. Form submissions are not redirected, so submitted form data is not sent through these rules.
Use the Hits and Last hit columns to identify old redirects that are no longer being used.
