# Redirects Tools

Source: [Redirects Tools](https://typeroll.com/docs/tools/redirects/)

> Manage URL redirects — essential after migrations and slug changes.

Redirects are built into the static site as a Cloudflare Pages `_redirects` file. They’re 301 permanent redirects by default.

## `create_redirect`

[Section titled “create\_redirect”](https://typeroll.com/docs/tools/redirects/#create_redirect)

Creates a redirect from one path to another.

```plaintext
create_redirect from_path="/about" to_path="/om-oss"
create_redirect from_path="/services.html" to_path="/tjanster"
```

The AI agent uses redirects automatically after:

* WordPress or URL migrations (old paths → new slugs)
* Page slug changes (the old path needs to redirect to the new one)

## Wildcards — retire a whole family of URLs

[Section titled “Wildcards — retire a whole family of URLs”](https://typeroll.com/docs/tools/redirects/#wildcards--retire-a-whole-family-of-urls)

A migrated site’s dead URLs come in shapes, not as individuals. One rule can cover all of them:

```plaintext
create_redirect from_path="/category/*" to_path="/blogg/:splat"
```

* A trailing `*` matches everything under the prefix (and the prefix itself); `:splat` inserts what was captured.
* `:name` matches exactly one segment: `from_path="/blog/:slug"` → `to_path="/artiklar/:slug"`.
* Narrower rules always win, so `/blogg/recept/*` can sit alongside `/blogg/*`.

Typical after a WordPress move:

| Old shape              | Rule                            |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `/category/…` archives | `/category/*` → `/blogg/:splat` |
| `/tag/…` archives      | `/tag/*` → `/blogg`             |
| `/author/…` archives   | `/author/*` → `/om-oss`         |
| Date permalinks        | `/2019/*` → `/blogg/:splat`     |

Three things Typeroll will refuse, and why:

* **A `*` anywhere but the end.** Cloudflare ignores it, so the rule would look saved and do nothing.
* **A rule that would hide a live page.** Redirects are applied before files are served, so `/blogg/*` would make every real article under `/blogg/` unreachable. Narrow the prefix instead.
* **Query strings.** Redirects match the path only — an old `/?p=123` URL has nothing to key on.

## `list_redirects`

[Section titled “list\_redirects”](https://typeroll.com/docs/tools/redirects/#list_redirects)

Returns all configured redirects.

## `delete_redirect`

[Section titled “delete\_redirect”](https://typeroll.com/docs/tools/redirects/#delete_redirect)

Deletes a redirect by its from-path.

## After a slug change

[Section titled “After a slug change”](https://typeroll.com/docs/tools/redirects/#after-a-slug-change)

If you rename a page’s slug, always create a redirect:

```plaintext
Rename the "services" page to "what-we-do" and set up a redirect from /services.
```

The AI agent handles both steps automatically when you phrase it this way.

## Redirect limits

[Section titled “Redirect limits”](https://typeroll.com/docs/tools/redirects/#redirect-limits)

Cloudflare Pages supports up to 2,100 redirects per site. For large migrations, the AI agent prioritises the most-trafficked URLs first.
