How do I keep my pages indexed with the transition of my site to VisualNEO Web?
Quote from Vadim on June 9, 2022, 6:56 pmI've had a static site for years that is long overdue for a redesign. And, naturally, with the help of VisualNEO Web! :)
I wondered – what to do about the fact that many of the pages on my site have long been indexed by search engines and if I replace the site, the paths to the pages will change as well. Visitors who come from a search engine will see a 404 error. And that's not good.Can I somehow set up a redirect from the known names of the old pages to the new pages?
If so, what is the best way to do it?
Will I have to permanently save the redirection or after some time the search engines will update the addresses?

It depends on your web server. If you use Apache or a compatible one you can just create a .htaccess file in your server root folder and add the necessary redirections. Please take a look here:
Note that VisualNEO Web apps are Single Page Applications (SPA) and thus they are not very SEO friendly :/
I have noticed a sitemap.txt or sitemap.xml file in the root folder can help a lot to search engines.This is a sitemap.txt sample for bibliosoftware.com:
