Understanding the redirect types, rules, and formats:

Redirect Types

1. Static Redirect: A simple URL-to-URL redirect without any dynamic values.

2. Dynamic Redirects: A complex URL where you can use dynamic values instead of adding 10s or 100s of static redirects.

Rules:

1. If there are multiple redirects for the same source path, the top-most redirect is applied.

2. Redirects happen before headers, so if a request matches rules in both files, the redirect will win out

3. Static redirects need to be added first, and then the dynamic redirects.

4. A project can have a maximum of 2,000 static redirects and 100 dynamic redirects for a total of 2,100 redirects.

5. Each redirect declaration has a 1,000-character limit.

Placeholder

• The colon indicates the start of a placeholder, and the name that follows may be composed of alphanumeric characters and underscores, :\w+.

• A placeholder with a given name can only be used once in the URL. Placeholders match all characters apart from the delimiter, which: when part of the host, is a period or a forward-slash; and when part of the path, is a forward-slash.

• The matched value can similarly be used in the redirect location with :placeholder_name. By doing this, it allows for greater flexibility and usability for both users and developers.
