I have a custom CMS powering a niche website. Most of the time there's no content or just one item relevant and therefore shown. Currently I have an index page at the root URL. I consider redirecting the root URL to the most relevant item URL if there's content to show. Item pages will include links to other items if available. If there's no content to show, I want to display a blank state page at the root URL as I currently do.I want to do this as I see no point in having an index page like I currently do. I don't want to show the full item at the root URL as I want to have nice URLs in the address bar which also serve as permalinks. (thinking of built-in sharing tools in browsers, especially on mobile)What are possible concerns of implementing this? For some reasons I feel redirecting the root URL at times to changing sub folders is a bad idea. Especially SEO concerns come to my mind.
Redirect root URL to changing subfolder  concerns?
