Thanks for sharing! The data string format listed in Cloudflare's help center kept failing. Your Excel template with individual columns and explanation of the options made it a breeze. I struggled for way too long before finding this video. Hopefully they get your link added to their documentation. Thanks!

[@onescales]

Happy to hear that the video helped you. If you would like you can mention this to them. Maybe they can do so and it will help others

[@TheSolidelement]

​@@onescales ​ Yes, I told them they should include it in their knowledge base. Thanks

[@onescales]

@@TheSolidelement you’re awesome. Thanks for

Hello, thank you very much for the video. I'm encountering an error with one of my URLs that has a ? parameter. When I try to redirect the URL /?list=liked, I get an error saying "URL with question mark cannot be redirected." Thank you!

[@onescales]

@@onlytolga1 can you share the full setup you made for all fields filled out?

[@AmazingApplications]

This was really helpful. Thank you for publishing it. I had been using JavaScript redirects in some of my page headers when Google suddenly flagged my site as unsafe and this caused my TH-cam videos to be delisted. Not sure if the scripts were considered unsafe or it was something else, but I switched to Cloudflare redirects using your instructions, and made a few other changes to my site. Google lifted their flag and TH-cam relisted my videos.

[@onescales]

Very happy it helped. I’ve experienced a delisting in google and it’s tough (no more traffic, no ads)

[@dougrcollins]

Very helpful video. I'll go check out what else you have on your channel.

[@onescales]

Thanks. Much appreciated . Also is there anything else you would like us to cover?

A question about "Each list can have thousands of redirects".
Looks like the free plan has a very low quota.
20 URL redirects across lists, right?

[@onescales]

I believe so. You should check out common logic for redirects so you can setup rules to auto catch your specific case. For example , if many of your redirects are from /old/… to /new/… you can setup one rule for that and not have to one by set them up. Hope that makes sense

[@couponzania]

very nice tutorial. Tysm any suggestions for redirecting all amp pages to its real url? using cf

[@onescales]

Your welcome. If your site is small just take the site map and make the amp urls redirect to the non amp. If larger than just setup a rule to use the amp pattern in url to redirect. Really depends on your specific setup

[@couponzania]

@@onescales I use rank math, I am using this under the plug-in settings Regex Source URL: (.*)/amp Destination URL: /$1 - this redirects all amp pages in a single setup. do you think there's something similar for cf as well?

[@onescales]

@@couponzania i believe you should check the "redirect rules" and "dynamic redirect based on "expression". try that first

[@marketingfreak3921]

Hey this was helpful.
I have purchased few numbers domains in godaddy now I want to use cloudfare to redirect those new domains to my main website. I was doing manually using page rules ( 301 permanent redirect) but it is taking much time.
Is there any way I can do it in bulk ?

[@onescales]

Happy to hear! Yes you can do it in bulk. Can you explain. More about your specific scenario to help point you in the right direction. For example do the domains redirect to only a specific page on the new domain? Do they keep their page name ( for example - olddomain.com/contact goes to newdomain.com/contact

[@iamZia]

Awesome tutorial, Thanks.

[@onescales]

Happy you liked it!

[@ben_stace]

I seem to have a limit to how many redirect i can use. Is there a way to upgrade my account to have more, its not very clear?

[@onescales]

can you explain how you're using redirects and how many are you using? are you using dynamic ones or static one by ones?
also , have you look at the table of quanity per plan at developers.cloudflare.com/rules/url-forwarding/

[@IAmRickGreen]

loved this. thanks for sharing

[@onescales]

Happy you loved it. Any other topics interested in?

[@anthonyyork6942]

I assume when they say bulk they only mean up to 20 redirects?

[@onescales]

if you are referring to 20 redirect lists then yes. note that lists can have many rules inside and you can have thousands or tens of thousands or more.

[@ryanlaiber431]
