URL Redirects

Creating Short, User-Friendly URLs

Summary

Pages in menu structures can have long URLs. However, pages should not be left out of the menu structure to achieve a short URL. Instead, Web Managers can create a redirect with a shorter, friendlier URL that can be used in publications like press releases and newsletters.
