About Redirects
Redirects are shortened URLs that are easy for your guests to remember, but directs them to the more complex URLs, both within your site and other sites.. The Redirects Module generates and manages these shortcuts. The redirects module is an internal module, and does not have a Front End. 

It is best practice to keep your shortcuts short, 1-2 words, and all lowercase, but you can specify the redirect to be anything you want.
