URL Rewrites Examples

With Traffic Policy, you can map permalinks to “pretty” alternatives that are easier for both humans and SEO bots to understand. This is especially useful for blogs that use a CMS, since the generated permalinks might be affecting your SEO performance. This rule rewrites a user-friendly URL like /blog/11/example-title to /blog/index.php?p=11&title=example-title, which is readable by your CMS.

on_http_request:
- expressions:
  - req.url.path.startsWith('/blog')
  actions:
  - type: url-rewrite
    config:
      from: "/blog/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/"
      to: "/blog/index.php?p=$1&title=$2"

{
  "on_http_request": [
    {
      "expressions": [
        "req.url.path.startsWith('/blog')"
      ],
      "actions": [
        {
          "type": "url-rewrite",
          "config": {
            "from": "/blog/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/",
            "to": "/blog/index.php?p=$1&title=$2"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
