We are migrating a site and are seeing alot of 301s and 302s already in the old site is it ok to leave those as is?

For the 3xx’s I’m not sure if it’s okay for us to redirect to these so please advise on that

Hey there,

The danger of having redirects to your old site, which then redirect to your new site, is that you could create long redirect strings, which pass less SEO value than one off redirects.

Ideally, you should redirect directly from what had inbound links. Say you have links to oldsite.com/awesome-article, which redirects to oldsite.com/awesome, which redirects to newsite.com/awesome. Add in a redirect directly from oldsite.com/awesome-article directly to newsite.com/awesome.

Hope this helps!
