Understanding the redirect types, rules and formats:

Redirect Types

  1. Static Redirect: A simple URL to URL redirect without any dymamic values.
  1. Dymanic Redirects: A complex URL where you can use dynamic values instead of adding 10s or 100s of static redirects.

Placeholders

Force
/pagethatexists
/otherpage
Redirects are always followed, regardless of whether or not an asset matches the incoming request.

Rules:

  1. If there are multiple redirects for the same source path, the top most redirect is applied.
  1. Redirects happen before headers, so if a request matches rules in both files, redirect will win out
  1. Static redirects need to be added first and then the dynamic redirects.
  1. A project can have a maximum of 2,000 static redirects and 100 dynamic redirects for a total of 2,100 redirects.
  1. Each redirect declaration has a 1,000-character limit.

Splats

On matching, a splat (asterisk, *) will greedily match all characters. You may only include a single splat in the URL.
The matched value can be used in the redirect location with :splat.

Placeholder

A placeholder can be defined with :placeholder_name
  • The colon indicates the start of a placeholder, and the name that follows may be composed of alphanumeric characters and underscores, :\w+.
  • A placeholder with a given name can only be used once in the URL. Placeholders match all characters apart from the delimiter, which: when part of the host, is a period or a forward-slash; and when part of the path, is a forward-slash.
  • The matched value can similarly be used in the redirect location with :placeholder_name. By doing this, it allows for greater flexibility and usability for both users and developers.

Unsupported Redirects

The following redirects are not supported. Make sure to not use any of these.
