The spokeperson noted that between approximately 30,000 pages to 40,000 files make up the redesigned FDA.gov site.

“Most URLs will change. Automatic redirects will be established, but users should update their bookmarks”, the spokesperson added.

In addition to helping the public make more informed decisions quickly, the site includes federal regulations, recall information, safety alerts and other regulatory actions.

The redesigned website also provide more visuals and interactive content. It is also be more mobile responsive, important because more than 50 percent of visitors to FDA.gov come from mobile devices.
