- URL paths to avoid
Each page on your site has its own unique URL. If you change a page's URL, Wix creates an automatic 301 redirect, taking visitors and search engines from the old URL to the new one. This helps prevent visitors and search engines from getting a 404 error if they go to an older broken link. Learn more about search engine optimization (SEO).
Important:
You must first upgrade your site and connect a domain to your site for the redirects to be created.

URL paths to avoid
When you change your site page URL, you should keep URL paths in mind. It's not possible to use certain URL paths for your pages, as they're used by Wix apps or reserved for SEO.
Some examples of URL paths you should avoid for your pages are:
- apps
- _api
- robots.txt
- sitemap.xml
- feed.xml
- sites
- events (when using the Wix Events app)
- event-details (when using the Wix Events app)
If you try to use these URL paths, you'll see an error that the URL's unavailable.
