Note About Pagination

• At the bottom of the “Fix 404 pages” page, it looks like there is just one page in the pagination.
• There are actually numerous pages that you must scroll through manually.
• Use the right arrow carrots to scroll through and see all the pages that are there.

Only Redirect What Real Users Are Trying to Find

• As the site administrator, you are the only one who can determine what does/does not need to be redirected.
• Do not feel like you have to redirect everything. 
• We recommend looking at the first 2 - 5 pages and addressing anything that concerns you. Then come back frequently to review those top 2 - 5 pages.
• Only redirect the entries that you know are clearly real users attempting to find content.
• You will see numerous entries for hits to the site that are not coming from real users – likely from bot traffic. It is okay to ignore these.   
• If you want to redirect to the home page, you can simply type in <front> in the "To" field.
