How to Create or Use Joomla URL Redirect Features

URL redirect is a built-in feature on Joomla. You can use it to redirect any on-site any type of URL to another address. The later one can be an on-site or an external URL. You can use this feature to get visitors who are trying to reach your site with a missing URL(404 error not found url). A site may miss a URL for many reasons such as changing the permalink structure, CMS etc. The URL redirect feature solves this issue.
