URL Redirects

Use URL Redirects when an existing public path must send visitors to a different path or URL.

Where records appear

Website location	Presentation
No visible page	Next.js fetches published redirect records when the website builds and turns them into HTTP redirects

Publishing a redirect in Strapi is not enough: the website must be rebuilt/redeployed before it takes effect.

Field-to-frontend map

Strapi field	Scope	Where on the frontend	Display and editorial effect
From	Required	Next.js redirect source	Old path beginning with /; may use Next.js wildcard syntax such as /blog/:slug*.
To	Required	Next.js redirect destination	New internal path or complete external URL.
Permanent	Required	Intended redirect status	Current frontend does not read it because it expects a field named StatusCode; generated redirects are therefore temporary.

Warning

Coordinate redirects with a developer. Test the old path after deployment, especially when using a wildcard or when search engines must recognize a permanent move.
