Save time creating 301 redirects

In many cases, when setting up a 301 redirect, a common mistake users make (especially beginners, but even more advanced users sometimes) is creating multiple redirects when only one is needed.

For example, if you have URLs like:

• /catalog/sku1.html
• /catalog/sku2.html
• /catalog/sku3.html

You don’t need a separate redirect for each one. Instead, you can use a single rule:

Old URL: /catalog/(.*)
New URL: /products/$1

This captures everything after /catalog/ and redirects it to the matching path under /products/.
