SOLVED SEO / Redirection

[Pierre]

Hello,

I have questions about :

• URL redirections
• Indexed pages

URL redirections
I tried to add a redirection, but permanent or not it looks like it's not working.
Project ID : lw-hpm-48dbc2
What is the expected result of adding a redirection here ? I thought it would simply redirect the user to the targeted page.

Indexed pages
If I understand it right, if I suppress pages from the sitemap and regenerate it again, it will be removed from Google SEO ?
I have some pages meant to be navigated through only and should be listed by Google, is it the right way to do it ?

Thanks

@pierre if the page name still exist then redirect won't work, you have to delete the original page if that's the case

try to redirect a name that does not exist (eg: test2351.html or test2351 without extension) to a page that really exist

@joseph-benguira noted, it works then thanks ^^

What about the SEO question, if I got it right, if I remove a page from indexation in the sitemap it will not be processed by Google ?

Thanks

@pierre if you delete the page, then the redirect will work and google will index the redirected content
