 * How does the Redirection plugin work with Simply Static?
   Obviously, it’s not 
   using PHP redirections.Does Simply Static create some kind of JavaScript equivalent
   on the fly?What’s the secret?

 * [@twd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twd/) exactly.
 * Simply Static creates a 301 redirect with JavaScript once it gets a 301 redirect
   while parsing a URL.
 * It basically creates a HTML file for the old URL and adds a little JavaScript
   code snippet that returns a 301 redirect once someone visits the old page.

 * Where would I be able to see these JavaScript files? 
   Where are they placed in
   the exported directory?
