    I’m moving from one domain name to another, and I’ve redirected all the relevant posts and pages from the ‘old’ site to specific pages on the ‘new’ site using Rank Math SEO, however, it doesn’t seem like I can redirect home page that way. I was considering using your plugin for that but I don’t want it to override other page redirections, since they aren’t all pointing to the home page of the new site. Can I safely redirect just the homepage using your plugin? Thank you.

    My plugin would redirect all the URLs on the site to the same URLs on the new site. The recommendation would be to have the appropriate redirects set up via RankMath on the new site should any of your content be changing URL paths.

    For example, let’s say you’re currently redirecting a page from /original/page/ to /new/page/ on the old site and now you want to point olddomain.com/original/page/ to newdomain.com/new/page/. The Simple Website Redirect plugin would handle the redirect from olddomain.com/original/page to newdomain.com/original/page. RankMath on the new site could handle redirecting from newdomain.com/original/page to newdomain.com/new/page.

    If moving the redirects in RankMath from the old site to the new site isn’t feasible for you, then I wouldn’t recommend using my plugin as it could potentially conflict with your existing redirects.

    If you have an Apache server, you can also try redirecting just the homepage like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31281346/redirect-website-homepage-only
