_redirects Syntax Reference
Basic Redirect
/old-page /new-page 301Permanently redirect /old-page to /new-page. Status 301 tells search engines the move is permanent.
Named Parameters
/blog/:slug /posts/:slug 301Capture a URL segment with :name and reuse it in the destination. Matches a single path segment.
Wildcards (Splat)
/docs/* /documentation/:splat 301Capture everything after * and reference it as :splat. Matches any number of path segments.
Rewrites (Proxy)
/api/* https://api.example.com/:splat 200Status 200 rewrites the request without changing the URL. The user sees /api/data but the content comes from the external URL.
SPA Fallback
/* /index.html 200Serve /index.html for all routes. Essential for single-page apps with client-side routing. Place this rule last.
Force Flag (Netlify)
/* /index.html 200!The ! after the status forces the redirect even when a static file exists. Netlify-only feature.
