• Apache: Use a .htaccess file with the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^old-ugly-url$ /seo-friendly-url [R=301,L]

• Nginx: Use the following code in your server block configuration:

• IIS: Use the URL Rewrite module with the following code in your web.config file:

<rule name="Redirect to SEO-friendly URL">
  <match url="^old-ugly-url$" />
  <action type="Redirect" url="/seo-friendly-url" />
