301 Moved Permanently. A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect which passes between 90-99% of link equity (ranking power) to the redirected page. 301 refers to the HTTP status code for this type of redirect. In most instances, the 301 redirect is the best method for implementing redirects on a website.

A 301 redirect is maybe the most important one SEO wise. It's the best way to "tell" Google that you want to keep the ranking stats of a certain page. This is the cleanest and safest way to do that.

a 301 redirect" is a type of redirect that is used when you are moving your website to a new domain. Using a 301 redirect will let search engine spiders know that the content of the site has been moved or assigned to a new URL. This will let search engines pass the value and link juice from the old URL to the new one.

301 redirect in SEO means the movement of a website to a new place but for temporary reasons. It should be done to maintain the domain authority or page authority of a web page and also in order to not lose your traffic.
