How long does it take for an on-site 301 redirect to take effect?
Hey guys,
3 days ago I used 301 redirect on my .htaccess file to redirect mywebsite/pageA to mywebsite/pageB. Basically I redirected a page to another address on my website.
How long this redirect would need to take effect on google SERP? How long would it take for backlinks and keyword ranking to be transferred to the new page?
This is individual from site to site, depends on how often Google visits your website so when they first see the change.
Recently, Google indexing got slower so I'd expect even recognizing redirects could take few days.
Appreciate the response, so taking 4 5 days and not yet being shown for the designated keywords on previous URL is normal?
Yes, nothing unusual.
Understood, thanks.
