REDIRECT IT builds the _redirects file that Cloudflare Pages and Netlify use to handle URL redirects. Add rules one by one, set the status code, and download a clean file ready to drop into your site zip. It also validates existing _redirects files so you can catch conflicts and errors before deploying.
The Panels
Input
Choose your mode — Build (create rules from scratch) or Validate (paste an existing _redirects file to check it for errors and conflicts).
Rules / Validation Results
In Build mode: add redirect rules with from path, to path, and status code. In Validate mode: shows each rule with a pass/fail status and plain-English explanation of any issues.
Output
The finished _redirects file content. Copy it or download it directly. Drop it into your site zip root before deploying.
Cygnus Connect
Cygnus Connect — Full validation with all status codes (301, 302, 200 proxies, 404 custom pages) requires Cygnus Connect.
Tips
Use 301 for permanent redirects (old URL moved forever) and 302 for temporary ones.
The _redirects file must be at the root of your zip — not in a subfolder.
Validate your file before every deploy — conflicts between rules are a common source of redirect loops.
