A redirect automatically sends anyone who opens an old or broken link to a working page instead. It’s the tool you reach for whenever a link that used to work no longer does — so visitors never land on a “page not found” message, and you keep the search ranking the old page had earned. You manage redirects from your site dashboard under Marketing (التسويق) → SEO (تحسين محركات البحث), in the Redirection area.

​
When you need a redirect

Links break for everyday reasons:
  • You renamed or deleted a page, so its old address stops working.
  • You changed a page’s web address (see the warning in the SEO overview).
  • You printed or shared a link that had a typo, or moved a product to a new category.
In each case, a redirect points the old address at the right new page, so the visitor arrives where you want them.

​
Create a redirect

1

Open the Redirection area

In your site dashboard, go to Marketing → SEO and open Redirection.
2

Add a redirect

Click Add redirect.
3

Enter the old address (From)

In the From field, enter the old or broken address — for example /old-candle.
4

Enter the new address (To)

In the To field, enter the working page you want people sent to — for example /vanilla-candle.
5

Choose the type and save

Leave the type as permanent for most cases (see below), make sure the redirect is enabled, and save. You can add a short note to remind yourself why you created it.
Send visitors to the most relevant page you have — a similar product or the right category — not just your home page. A relevant destination is far less frustrating and keeps people shopping.

​
Redirect types

When you create a redirect you choose a type, which tells search engines why the page moved. In plain terms:
If you’re not sure, choose permanent. It’s the safest, most common option for redirecting an old link to a new page.

​
Find your broken links

Glowply can keep a log of the addresses people visit that don’t exist on your site — the links that show a “page not found” message. This is the easiest way to discover broken links you didn’t know about, like a shared link with a typo.
1

Turn on broken-link logging

In the Redirection settings, enable logging for page-not-found visits, then save.
2

Review the list

A list appears showing each missing address and how many times it’s been visited. Sort by the number of visits to find the ones worth fixing first.
3

Fix it with one click

For any address that gets real traffic, add a redirect straight from the list — the old address is filled in for you, so you just enter the page to send people to.
Check this list every now and then. A frequently-visited broken link is usually a sign that a real, valuable link is pointing at your site — fixing it recovers those visitors.

​
Automatic tidying

Some redirects happen on their own, with no setup from you. Glowply automatically:
  • Keeps your web addresses in one consistent format, so the same page never has two competing links.
  • Sends standalone file pages straight to the actual file, instead of showing an empty page.
  • Redirects empty author pages to your home page on a one-person site, so visitors aren’t sent to a blank page.
You can also choose to send every unknown “page not found” address to your home page (or another page) as a catch-all — though a specific redirect to a relevant page is always better when you have one.
