Reducing the TTL (Time to Live) value of a domain is a key step in effective domain redirection. TTL determines how long DNS information is cached by servers and devices. By lowering the TTL—typically to 300 seconds or less—before implementing a redirection, changes to the domain's DNS settings propagate more quickly across the internet. This ensures that users are directed to the new destination without long delays. Once the redirection is complete and stable, TTL can be increased again to reduce DNS query load. Reducing TTL is especially important during domain migrations or major updates, as it minimizes downtime and ensures a smoother transition. Overall, adjusting TTL helps improve user experience and reduces the risk of outdated DNS records causing access issues.
