The URL rewrite can be used to create product and category rewrites and custom rewrites for any page in your store. When the rewrite takes effect, existing links pointing to the old URL are seamlessly redirected to the new address.
URL rewrites can be used to add high-value keywords to improve the way search engines index the product. You can also use rewrites to create additional URLs for a temporary seasonal change or a permanent change. Rewrites can be created for any valid path, and including CMS content pages.
