This module allows you to create manual URL redirects and automatically maintain a canonical URL for your content. It also provides features like redirect counters, cleanup of inactive redirects, and integration with page caching and Views.
Provides the ability to create manual redirects and maintain a canonical URL for all content, redirecting all other requests to that path.
Features
- Common API for loading, saving, and deleting redirects.
- Case-insensitive redirect matching with a hook to allow other modules to narrow-down the candidate redirects.
- Redirect counter and last used timestamp, with automatic cleanup of inactive redirects. (Provided by Redirect Metrics in D8)
- Integration with Drupal's page cache to optimize redirects and performance.
- Complete individual redirect access API.
- Views API integration.
- D8: Maintaining a canonical path and redirecting alternative URL's like non-aliased path, path without language prefixes and so on (Previously provided by Global redirect)
- D8: Separate Redirect 404 module that logs aggregated 404 request (can suppress them in the default log) and allows to create redirects from them
- D8: Separate Redirect Domain module allows wildcard and domain redirects
Recommended Modules
- Pathauto can be configured to automatically generate path redirects to ensure that URL alias changes do not break existing links.
- D7: Multi-path autocomplete helps provide auto-complete listings for the destination textfield on the redirect form. D8 uses the available link autocomplete field (supports only nodes).
- Pathologic helps transform relative links in content to absolute URLs. Most helpful when you move your site to a new domain or different folder.
- D7: Match Redirect provides redirecting based on path patterns with wildcards. Does not extend or require the Redirect module itself.
