What is a Wildcard Redirect SOP
What is a Wildcard Redirect?
A wildcard redirect is a type of redirect that automatically forwards all URLs from one domain or directory to another domain or directory, including any subpages and subdirectories.
Example:
Wildcard Redirect Enabled:
oldsite.com/page1 → newsite.com/page1
oldsite.com/blog/article → newsite.com/blog/article
Wildcard Redirect Disabled:
oldsite.com/page1 → newsite.com (only homepage redirects)
When to Use a Wildcard Redirect?
- Moving a website to a new domain while keeping the same structure.
- Redirecting an entire subdirectory (e.g., /blog/) to another location.
- Ensuring all old URLs properly point to the new ones without manual redirections.
