Changes to Redirects aren't working well #1550
Comments
@ChrisMarsh82 Would like to discuss this in the afternoon call |
We identified that this is almost certainly due to browser caching 301 permanent redirects. The general consensus online seems to be that for most of our common purposes 302 redirects are actually better. Our most common use cases involve promotions, testing, shortening for QR codes, etc, rather than permanently relocating a resource on the website. We do sometimes permanently relocate resources on the website, ie moving Pages, but the right way to handle that would be to offer the user an option to create a 301 redirect when the move the Pages. Maybe the biggest issue is that Admins are shown that they have the ability to change or delete a permanent redirect, but this won't work for users that already accessed the link. Let's change the settings so that by default redirects are NOT permanent. Can we please change the text below permanent check box:

Here's what I did:
I tried changing the redirect to point to another page, tried changing the Page stub to multiple other settings, the Redirect always seems to point to /en/sandbox/your-health2/
Desired behavior:
Changes to a Redirect should be successful.
If they are very delayed (eg 30 mins?) that should be clear to the Admin. If this delay is the case, right now it's difficult to understand because new Redirects are implemented immediately.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
