URL forwarding
URL forwarding, also known as URL redirection, navigates the user from a source URL to a target URL with a specific HTTP status code.
Use the following Cloudflare products to perform URL redirects, according to your use case:
Bulk Redirects: Allow you to define a large number of redirects (thousands) at the account level. These URL redirects are essentially static — they do not support string replacement operations or regular expressions. However, you can configure parameters that affect the redirects' URL matching behavior and their runtime behavior.
Dynamic Redirects: Allow you to create powerful URL redirects like redirects based on the source country of requests. Depending on your Cloudflare plan, you can use regular expressions to define the redirect URL.
Availability
Bulk Redirects and Dynamic Redirects are available on all Cloudflare plans. The exact quotas and features depend on your plan.
