How Do I Redirect a Weebly Site to Another Website?

Last updated on August 27, 2023 @ 10:13 am

There are a few reasons you might want to redirect your Weebly site to another website. Maybe you’re moving to a new URL, or maybe you want to point your Weebly site to an existing website.

And yes, you can point your Weebly site to an existing website as long as you have access to edit its DNS settings. For more information on how to do this, please see our help article on pointing DNS records to Weebly.

On the other hand, if you’re moving your Weebly site from one URL to another (e.g., from www.example.com/oldurl to www.com/newurl), we recommend setting up a permanent (301) redirect from your old URL to your new URL. This will ensure that any visitors who go to your old URL will be automatically redirected to your new URL and that search engines will update their records accordingly.

Either way, it’s easy to do with Weebly’s built-in redirect feature.

To redirect your Weebly site to another website, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your Weebly account and click on the “Edit site link.

2. Once you’re on the site editor page, click the Settings option at the top menu bar.

 

3. In the Settings page, go to the left panel to select the SEO tab, then scroll down to the “301 Redirects” section and click on the “Add Redirect” button.

4. Once you’ve clicked the “Add Redirect” button, you will be prompted to input your “Old URL” and the “Destination Page” in the fields provided. After filling up the details, click on the “Save” button.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about redirecting your Weebly site to another website, make sure to double-check the destination URL to ensure it points to the correct website. Mistakes in URL redirection can confuse or frustrate your visitors, so always verify before making changes live.

And that’s it! You have successfully redirected a Weebly site to another website.

Conclusion:

Redirecting a Weebly Site is easy! There are just a few steps that you can finish in minutes. First, log in to your Weebly account and open the site editor by clicking on the “Edit Site” link on the dashboard. Once on the site editor page, go to Settings > SEO and scroll down to the 301 Redirects section. In this section, you can redirect a Weebly site to another website by clicking on the “Add Redirect” button. Just input the Old URL and the Destination page that you want people who visit your old address redirected to. Once everything is set, click Save! And just like that, you’ve now redirected traffic from one website URL over to another.
