what is 301 redirection

In the simplest of "technical definitions", a 301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one URL to the other. A 301 redirect also is often described as a "change of address form" you might get at a post office. If someone doesn't know you moved, you want to make sure all your mail is forwarded to your new place.
 
A 301 Redirect advises the client and more importantly, the search engine, that the page has been moved or otherwise can be found under a different name or on a different part of the site, even a different site.

It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".

301 redirect is a permanent redirection used for divert the traffic of an URL to another. You can also use this redirection to redirect a URL (which will be open by both www and without www) into other.
