Routing Logic for Developers

Static redirects are fine for simple changes, but real-world applications need logic. Move entire directory structures, clean up messy URLs, or enforce SEO standards with a single rule.

Rule Editor
Match Found
Expression (Regex)
^/old-blog/(.*)$
Destination URL
/new-blog/$1
Test Input:/old-blog/hello-world
Result:/new-blog/hello-world

Wildcard Matching (*)

The simplest way to bulk redirect. Just use * to match any string. Perfect for moving folders like /docs/* to help.site.com/*.

Advanced Regex (PCRE)

Need more power? Use capture groups, lookaheads and complex pattern matching to handle any URL structure.

Query Param Cleanup

Automatically strip tracking parameters like utm_source or fbclid, or rewrite them into clean URL paths for better SEO.

Common Regex Patterns (Cheat Sheet)

Copy these battle-tested patterns to solve common SEO headaches.

Remove Trailing Slash

Match:^(.*)/$
Target:$1

Enforce clean URLs by removing the slash at the end, for example /about/ -> /about.

Force Lowercase

Match:[A-Z]
Target:Lower($0)

Prevent duplicate content issues by forcing all URLs to lowercase.

Migration: Date to Slug

Match:^/202[0-9]/[0-9]{2}/(.*)$
Target:/posts/$1

Modernize WordPress URLs by removing the date structure.

Extension Stripper

Match:^(.*)\.(html|php|aspx)$
Target:$1

Hide your tech stack. Turn /contact.php into a clean /contact URL.

Subdomain Consolidation

Match:^https://blog.site.com/(.*)
Target:https://site.com/blog/$1

Merge subdomains into subfolders to strengthen overall domain authority.

Query Param to Path

Match:^/products\?id=([0-9]+)
Target:/item/$1

Convert ugly dynamic parameters into SEO-friendly static paths.
