@Phoshi Modern browsers will invalidate that cached redirect as long as there is a redirect from /contact-us to /contact.

The question seemed more SEO related and I was just answering directly based on that. I did not try to answer for addressing post-migration traffic flows. Thanks for the reminder, for other audiences. | |

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, won't all your visitors still have the /contact => /contact-us 301 cached, with no obvious way for a common user to resolve this? Whether google reindexes it or not isn't going to help existing visitors.
