Redirect Rule

Redirect Smart, No Code Required.

The Redirect Rules component enables you to define redirection logic, including permanent or temporary redirects, directly within your content layer. Whether you’re restructuring your site, fixing broken links, or launching a new section, you can easily manage URL redirects without touching server configuration files.

Once deployed, these rules are automatically applied, enhancing navigation, preserving SEO, and creating a seamless experience for both users and search engines.

Use Cases

Redirects are crucial for ensuring that users and search engines reach the correct destination, even when URLs change. With Vertex Forge’s Redirect Rules, you have complete control over your URL mappings through content, making it easy to:

  • Set up 301 permanent redirects after renaming or moving a page

  • Apply temporary 302/307 redirects for testing or campaign landing pages

  • Use wildcards or slugs to redirect entire folders or dynamic routes (e.g., /blog/:year/:slug)

  • Resolve 404 errors with intelligent fallbacks

  • Proxy or remap routes internally with a status code 200

Whether you’re launching new sections or maintaining legacy links, these rules ensure a smooth user experience and maintain your SEO integrity.

Whether you’re migrating content, cleaning up URLs, or fixing broken links, Vertex Forge puts the power of redirects in your hands.

Simple. Flexible. SEO-safe.

Redirects are finally done right.

Source

The original URL or pattern you want to redirect from. This can be:

  • Static: /old-page

  • Wildcard: /blog/*

  • Dynamic segments: /blog/:year/:month/:slug

This defines which incoming requests should trigger the redirect.

Destination

The target URL you want to redirect to. This can also include dynamic or wildcard segments that match the source.

Examples:

  • /new-page

  • /news/:year/:month/:slug

  • /

Wildcard support and :splat variables allow full flexibility.

Code

Select the appropriate code based on your use case, SEO objectives, and anticipated user experience.

  • 301 – Moved Permanently
    Best for SEO as it informs search engines that the URL has been permanently changed.

  • 302 – Found / Temporary
    Used for temporary changes

  • 303 – See Other
    Typically for redirecting after form submissions

  • 307 – Temporary Redirect
    Keeps request method (e.g., POST); safer than 302 in many cases

  • 308 – Permanent Redirect
    Same as 301 but retains the method and is recommended for APIs or forms

  • 200 – Okay / Proxy
    Used to serve another route’s content at a different path without redirection
