Why are some of the dots on the calendar page different colors?
We color the dots, and links, associated with individual web captures, or multiple web captures, for a given day. Blue means the web server result code the crawler got for the related capture was a 2nn (good); Green means the crawlers got a status code 3nn (redirect); Orange means the crawler got a status code 4nn (client error), and Red means the crawler saw a 5nn (server error). Most of the time you will probably want to select the blue dots or links.
Oh, it's when you visit a website at a URL like www.example.com/oldpage/ and the server "intercepts" that call and gives you www.example.com/newpage/ instead, thus "redirecting" what you see in your browser. It could also be an entire domain too.

If I remember correctly, the green ones show if a redirect is in place.

I'm not that tech savy, what would a Redirect be?
