Redirects

• Introduction
• Wildcards
• Exporting & Importing

With redirects, you can redirect one URL on your website to another. For example, when you create a redirect from /foo to /bar, people who visit www.mydomain.com/foo will be redirected automatically to www.mydomain.com/bar.

Go to Settings → Redirects to create redirects for your project. They have 3 properties:

• From: the URL to redirect from. Always starts with a slash and never includes the domain name. Can contain wildcards (see below).
• To: the URL to redirect to. To redirect to an external URL, start with http:// or https://, otherwise start with a slash.
• Permanent: when checked, a permanent redirect will be executed with a 301 code, which will tell Google this redirect is permanent and they can forget about the source URL. Otherwise, the redirect will be temporary and a 302 code will be used.

When you add a query string when using the redirect, it will be added to the target URL. When the target URL itself also contains a query string, the two will be merged.

Note that redirects always have priority over pages. If both a redirect and a page exist with the same URL, the redirect will be executed and the page will not be reachable. In such cases, a warning will be shown in the page table.

You can use wildcards in the From field of redirects. There are 2 types:

• * matches all characters, except slash
• ** matches all characters, including slash

Let's have a look at some examples:

You can export and import redirects in the same way you export and import data in tables.
