Improved Internal Link Handling for Updated URLs

When an article’s URL changes, our platform has traditionally ensured continuity by automatically creating a redirect from the old URL to the new one. While this preserved SEO value and avoided broken links, internal links across the site continued to point to the old URL, resulting in users being routed through a redirect when clicking those links.

With our latest update, we’ve improved this behavior. Now, in addition to creating a redirect from the old to the new URL, all internal links that previously pointed to the old URL are automatically updated to link directly to the new one. This reduces unnecessary redirects, improves site performance, and offers a more seamless experience for readers.
