Remove a page after redirection

[Tormar]

Hi,

I had page eg. www.example.com/page1 and I redirect 302 it to > www.example.com/page2

After that I fatch this page (page2) with GSC and this page was index in serp.

Can I remove this old redirect page > www.example.com/page1 now? Will this remove harm my page?

Thank you.

I thought on redirect 301 (permanent redirection).

Do you recommend remove old link after a redirection and index?

Hi Tormar,

That's really up to you, as that page will no longer have an effect on your search results or your site. If you'd like to save some server space or keep your directories tidy, feel free to remove the original page once you've got the 301 in place.

And if this is permanent, definitely,_ definitely _use a 301 over a 302.
