Frequently Asked Questions
Why is return 301 preferred over rewrite in Nginx?
The Nginx team explicitly advises using `return 301 https://$host$request_uri;` over `rewrite ^(.*)$` because `return` avoids regular expression engine overhead and executes instantaneously.
How do 301 redirects preserve SEO link equity?
A 301 (Moved Permanently) status code instructs search engines to transfer PageRank, anchor text relevancy, and ranking history from the legacy URL to the target URL.
