I have set up a 301 redirect for a single page on my website, ( /webpackages → /Perth-web-design-packages ) however when i navigate to the old URL, I am getting a 404.
I have set-up the redirect successfully, and when navigating to the page from my websites menu, or directly to the new URL, there is no problem, but when I search for the old URL, I get the 404.
This is a problem for me in terms of SEO, so would appreciate any feedback people can send my way.
Thanks for your response. I see what you mean regarding the case-sensitivity, however I’m still unclear as to how to resolve this issue, as the redirect I’ve setup doesn’t even use uppercase lettering, yet it is not working when I try to navigate to the old URL (eg, it is redirecting to the incorrect URL).
Visit the url using Incognito mode.
If the issue remains…
Open a different browser. If the issue is in Chrome… try accessing the url with Safari or Firefox.
This will tell you if the issue is localized to Chrome.
Try removing cookies / cache etc. Or try restarting your computer.
