{{Use dmy dates|date=February 2020}}'''URL redirection''', also called '''URL forwarding''', is a [[World Wide Web]] technique for making a [[web page]] available under more than one [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] address. When a [[web browser]] attempts to open a URL that has been redirected, a page with a different URL is opened. Similarly, domain redirection or domain forwarding is when all pages in a URL [[Domain name|domain]] are redirected to a different domain, as when [https://www.wikipedia.com/ wikipedia.com] and [https://www.wikipedia.net/ wikipedia.net] are automatically redirected to [https://www.wikipedia.org/ wikipedia.org].
