Redirects

The redirect manager sends old or alternate URLs to the right place — essential when you rename screens or migrate a site.

The Redirects page in the Aglyn console, with an "Add redirect" action for exact-path rules

Plan availability

Paid. The redirect manager is a paid feature.

Manage redirects​

  • Create, edit, and delete redirect rules from the redirect manager page.
  • Rules are validated on save, with chain-loop and screen-collision checks so a redirect can't send visitors in circles or shadow a real screen.
  • The published site enforces redirect rules during route resolution.

Metrics​

Each rule tracks hit metrics (sampled), so you can see which redirects are actually used and prune the ones that aren't.

Match modes (v2)​

Rules match one of three ways:

  • Exact path — the original mode; /old-page only.
  • Path prefix — /blog catches /blog and everything under it (/blog/post-1), but not /blogging.
  • Regular expression — anchored to the whole path, with capture groups substituted into the destination: pattern /product/(\d+) and destination /products/item-$1 sends /product/42 to /products/item-42. Invalid patterns are rejected at save and can never take the site down.

When several rules match, the lowest priority number fires first. Use the inline tester at the bottom of the redirects card to paste a path and see exactly which rule (if any) catches it — it runs the same matcher the live site uses.
