    Hello,
    I have some general questions about redirects.
    It basically comes down to: Should I be generous with them or reluctant?
    Can a lot of redirects make problems organizational or performance wise? Or should I just create them for every little change I make?

    Let’s say for example I want to change the URL of a page that I mentioned on Twitter and Facebook here and there, but in posts that are already old and outdated. Would you in this case create a redirect in case some people still stumble upon this link, or would you then just leave it?

    It’s entirely down to you and what is important for your site. Creating lots of redirects won’t cause a problem, and they are time stamped with their last use so you can expire them if they don’t get used.
