I place this code in a page to redirect

import {redirect} from ‘wix-router’;
export function myRouter_Router(request) {
return redirect(“external_url”, “301”);
}

but error shows on the console: Cannot find module ‘wix-router’ in ‘public/pages/p9pk3.js’
and no redirect.
Does anyone have same experience? How to resolve this?
Please help, thanks!

@precioush2o wix-router is a backend function not a public one. If you are really building a router capability then you need to create a router page in the editor. This will set up the router.js file in backend for you to work with:

If what you are really trying to do is route to another page or site from the browser then you should use wix-location which has a to() function for that purpose:

Thank @Steven Cropper very much!

The first time I think the wix-router can help to redirect (and able returns 301 status so that reserves SEO) a request (to a WIX page URL) to an non-WIX site page URL. Unfortunately It does not.
The wix-location does redirect, unfortunately it is a client request then does not reserve SEO.

All this means WIX does not support reserve SEO data, the site owner will lose their WIX site SEO data when building a new non-WIX website. It is terrible business.
