Eternal Slug
============

[](#eternal-slug)

When you manually change an entry’s slug or move it within a Structure, Craft CMS updates the URL — but the old one instantly stops working. As a result, any user or search engine visiting the previous link will land on a **404 Not Found** page. This not only hurts user experience but can also cause **SEO value loss** and **broken backlinks**.

**Eternal Slug** fixes this automatically.

Whenever an entry’s slug changes or its position in a Structure is updated, Eternal Slug instantly creates a **301 redirect** from the old URL to the new one and no manual action is required.

Your visitors and search engine crawlers (like Googlebot) are seamlessly guided to the correct page, preserving both **traffic** and **ranking signals**.

**Keep your URLs alive with Eternal Slug**
