avoid-redirections

Redirections should be avoided as much as possible as they slow down response and drain resources unnecessarily. These redirections can take place on various levels: HTML code, JavaScript code, HTTP server and application server (e.g. PHP).

At the HTTP server level (Apache in this case), a redirection involves systematically rewriting the URLs via the .htaccessfile: .htaccess :

Permanent redirection http://old_address.fr http://new.address.fr/
It would be better to manually replace the web pages’ static addresses.
