301 Redirect
301 redirect refers to a code sent by a website’s hosting server to a browser. In practice, it means you’ll get redirected to a new page when you input the old URL.
For website administrators, 301 redirects shouldn’t be used in excess, but can be a good way to deliver relevant pages to users when the original page has been removed or the content has been merged into another page.
From an SEO perspective, the old page’s ranking will transfer to the new page.

Hick’s Law
Hick’s Law is a psychological principle that, in a marketing and web design context, relates to the number of options presented to a user. The more options a user is given, the longer it will take them to make a decision. Therefore, best practices in web design, for instance, include minimizing clutter and non-essential options from major pages, in order to focus user attention on those items you consider most important.
