redirect.pizza simplifies URL redirection for a variety of practical scenarios. From domain migrations to vanity URLs, it gives you a single dashboard to manage all your redirects with automatic HTTPS and no server configuration required.
1. Redirecting traffic between www and non-www domains
When you want to ensure consistent domain access, you can redirect traffic:
- From non-www to www: For example, users visiting
example.comare redirected towww.example.com. This ensures a unified domain experience and prevents duplicate content issues. - From www to non-www: Prefer a cleaner URL? Redirect
www.example.comtoexample.comto simplify your domain structure.
This is useful for ensuring all visitors land on the same version of your site, no matter how they type your domain. See our step-by-step setup guide or read more about the apex to www use case.
2. Website restructures and migrations
If you are moving to a new domain or restructuring your website, redirect.pizza ensures that old URLs don't lead to dead ends. Follow our step-by-step domain redirect guide to get started.
- Migrating to a new domain: Redirect all traffic from
oldsite.comtonewsite.comwhile maintaining the specific paths (e.g.,oldsite.com/blogtonewsite.com/blog) using path forwarding. - Path-specific redirects: Adjust your URL structure while preserving traffic flow. For instance, move
example.com/about-ustoexample.com/aboutwithout losing SEO value.
For a complete walkthrough, see our domain redirect migration guide or the renaming your website use case.
3. Consolidating multiple domains
Manage and consolidate traffic from several domains by redirecting them to a primary one. For example:
- Redirect
example.netandexample.orgtoexample.com.
Ensure visitors from outdated or alternative domains reach your main site without broken links. This is especially useful for rebranding or merging businesses.
4. Maintaining backlink value
When changing your URL structure or domain, a 301 redirect ensures that backlinks pointing to old URLs still work and pass their SEO value to the new destination. For instance:
A third-party blog links to your old article at oldsite.com/blog/post1. Using redirect.pizza, traffic is automatically sent to newsite.com/articles/post1.
This avoids losing valuable traffic and SEO rankings. Learn more about how to keep your SEO intact during a migration. If something goes wrong during the switch, our redirect troubleshooting guide helps you diagnose and fix common problems.
5. Redirecting to third-party services
Redirect domains or subdomains to external services. Common scenarios include:
- Forwarding
store.example.comto your Shopify store. - Redirecting
jobs.example.comto a recruitment platform like Workable or LinkedIn.
This is ideal for integrating specialized platforms into your web presence, and lets marketing or HR teams manage redirects without involving IT.
6. Vanity URLs
Create short, branded, and memorable URLs that redirect to longer or more complex links. Vanity URLs are especially useful for sharing links in marketing materials, presentations, or social media. For example:
- Redirect
example.com/saletoexample.com/promotions/2026-holiday. - Use
example.com/jointo redirect to a sign-up form or a third-party service.

7. Localized redirects for international traffic
Direct visitors to region-specific versions of your website using dynamic destinations. For example:
- Redirect
example.comtoexample.frfor visitors from France. - Route visitors to the correct regional site based on incoming request parameters.
