CW Redirect

CW Redirect enables you to create a simple redirect by creating a Joomla menu item. Redirect the user from yoursite.com/menu-item-alias to any link you choose.

This component makes it easier than ever to redirect users from a URL on your site to any URL on the internet. Simply create a CW Redirect menu item, and CW Redirect turns that menu item into a 301 redirect to whatever URL you choose.
