Redirects

Redirects view

In the Redirect for <subdomain name> view, you can view, edit, or delete available redirects. You can also add new redirects.

Using redirects via Myra's CDN reduces the number of requests to your infrastructure and, as a result, your server load. The redirect works with any type of infrastructure.

Proceed as follows to open the Redirects for <subdomain name> view:

• ► Click on the Domains tab in the left navigation bar.
• ↳ The Domains view opens.

Domains view

• ► Click on the icon in the SUBDOMAINS column.
• ↳ The Subdomain Settings for <domain name> view opens.

Subdomain settings view

• ► Click on the icon in the REDIRECTS column.
• ➔ The Redirects for <subdomain name> view opens.

The Add redirect button opens the Add redirect dialog for adding a new redirect (see Section Add new redirect / Edit redirect dialog).

The table of redirect entries provides an overview of all redirects that were created for a subdomain and allows you to edit and delete them.

The following information is available:

Name	Definition
SELECT TYPE	The part of the path of a subdomain that is redirected. The following options are available: Exact: The path to be redirected matches the path or regular expression entered in the Source text field exactly. No subpaths are taken into account. Prefix: All paths that match the path or regular expression in the Source text field or represent subpaths are redirected. Suffix: All paths that match or end with the regular expression entered in the Source text field are redirected. You can use this setting for file types, among other things. Enter the file extension. ExampleUsing.jpg affects all JPG files on your website.
SELECT HTTP CODE	The HTTP status code that is passed for the redirect to the target URL. The following options are available: HTTP 301: Moved Permanently (a permanent redirect of a requested resource to a new URL) HTTP 302: Found (a temporary redirect) NoteMyra recommends using HTTP 302 as a temporary redirect.NoteThe HTTP codes 301 and 302 are also cached by the browser and can lead to further redirects through the cached 302 redirect despite the redirect being disabled at Myra.
