Migration Steps

1

Export Your Existing Redirects

Export your current redirects in a supported format. Most platforms allow CSV export or provide access to configuration files.

2

Create a New Website in RedirectFlow

Set up your website in RedirectFlow and configure your domain settings.

3

Import Your Redirects

Use our import tool to upload your redirects. We'll automatically parse and validate them.

4

Review and Validate

Review the imported redirects for any conflicts or issues. Our validator will flag potential problems.

5

Deploy to Cloudflare

Once validated, deploy your redirects to Cloudflare Workers for instant activation.

Migrating from .htaccess

RedirectFlow supports most common .htaccess redirect patterns:

# These patterns are supported:
Redirect 301 /old-page /new-page
Redirect permanent /old /new
RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/(.*)$ /articles/$1

# RewriteRule patterns:
RewriteRule ^old-path$ /new-path [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)$ /products/$1 [R=301,L]

Simply paste your .htaccess content into the import tool, and we'll parse and convert the rules automatically.
