URL Redirection allows you define a set of URL patterns that will be used to match against all incoming URL addresses for your store, and when a match is found, the URL request will be redirected to a new target URL of your choosing.
A URL or Uniform Resource Locator is the string of data that identifies the pages on your Spiffy Store. Each URL is made up of the domain name, prefixed by either http:// or https:// followed by the actual address of the pages.
A URL containing the prefix and the domain name is called an Absolute URL, whereas a URL consisting of just the page address is called a Relative URL.
For example, this is an Absolute URL
http://mystore.spiffystores.com/collections/shirts
and this is a Relative URL
/collections/shirts
