After enabling one or more automatic redirects it's important to check that they're redirecting a sample of URLs you expect it to.
To test an automatic redirect:
- Open your web browser.
- Visit an example 404 broken link which matches the Redirect from URL structure of the automatic redirect (e.g. for the product page automatic redirect you could visit /products/test-broken-link).
- Verify that you've been redirected to the expected Redirect to URL.
Note: Like 301 redirects, automatic redirects can only redirect 404 broken links. Automatic redirects will not work on active pages.
If your automatic redirect isn't working, you can learn why this might be the case.
