DefinitionA redirect (リダイレクト) is a mechanism that automatically sends a user who accesses one URL on to a page at a different URL.
ExplanationThe web server answers a request for the old URL with the URL to forward to, and the browser receives it and opens that address automatically. It keeps links and bookmarks to an old URL working after a page has moved, and it also steers users from an unencrypted http URL to an encrypted https URL.
AnalogyIt is like a mail-forwarding service that delivers letters sent to your old address to your new one after you move.
Memory hookRe (again) plus direct (to point) gives redirect, to point again. Remember it as pointing visitors toward a new destination.
