Super confused about this: On the "Bulk Redirects" page, it says "Create thousands (or even millions) of static redirects". However, when creating a "Bulk Redirect List" it limits the list to 20 items (which of course is not thousands or millions). How to create thousands/millions of static redirects?

in nginx you can do it pretty easily, don't know lightspeed though

are you looking at the list count not the item count?

WWalshy are you looking at the _list_ count not the _item_ count?

jayMakes11OP•7/6/23, 10:50 AM

No. Here's what I'm seeing:

You have used 1 of 5 redirect lists and 20 of 20 items.

Alr thanks I will try vercel or netlify and see if it can host my web

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:50 AM

you can also try Pages

Cloudflare Pages

Build your next application with Cloudflare Pages

WWalshy you can also try Pages 😉

Alr does it have a option for subdomain?

looks like item count is limited per plan - https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/url-forwarding/#availability

CCaeden Alr does it have a option for subdomain?

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:52 AM

i mean, you can add subdomains. Serving jobs.htmljobs.html on index for a subdomain would probably need like proxying / /jobs 200/ /jobs 200 some rule like that (this is true for us and Netlify, not sure if Vercel can do this)

Caeden•7/6/23, 10:52 AM

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:53 AM

You could also just upload the jobs.html as index.html and have a project with just that file

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:53 AM

that would probably be the better way to do it

I see. Thanks. Seems this should be made more clear elsewhere (would have saved me a lot of time, as I now konw that bulk redirects essentially won't work for my needs).

jayMakes11OP•7/6/23, 10:54 AM

had hit to 2000 limit in Pages... had thought that Bulk Redirects was the "overflow" solution

jayMakes11OP•7/6/23, 10:54 AM

seems a dynamic function handler is the only solution for my particular use case.

jayMakes11OP•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

coming from Netlify, which doesn't have any limit to the number of redirects in their

_redirects

_redirects

file, this feels super limiting.

Caeden•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

Yea as I stored mine in a folder with index

jayMakes11OP•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

the 2000 limit seems pretty arbitrary.

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

it is

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

but we can't make it infinite

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

so there needs to be some reasonable limit

WWalshy so there needs to be some reasonable limit

jayMakes11OP•7/6/23, 10:56 AM

i wonder how netlify handles this...

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:56 AM

they have a limit too

Walshy•7/6/23, 10:56 AM

but not sure what their limit is

oh, good to know. thanks for this.

form this (https://answers.netlify.com/t/max-number-of-redirects/5095/2) i learned that having a number in the thousands can negatively impact performance... makes sense but I never considered this previously.

Max number of redirects?

Hi, @bob, and welcome to our Netlify community site. Are you asking about the number of rules which can exist for a site or how many redirects are allowed for a single HTTP request (as in how many “hops” are allowed). If the question is about hops for a single HTTP requests, this is covered here: Quoting: By default, we limit internal rew...

Walshy•7/6/23, 11:00 AM

yeah that's also why we cap to a reasonable number

Walshy•7/6/23, 11:01 AM

we can probably make this better but not sure how immediately

Walshy•7/6/23, 11:01 AM

for static at least

WWalshy yeah that's also why we cap to a reasonable number

Caeden•7/6/23, 11:02 AM

So pages can host html web?

Walshy•7/6/23, 11:02 AM

of course

WWalshy of course

this is just a html page :p

where you getting that?

WWalshy where you getting that?

Caeden•7/6/23, 11:03 AM

welp now this popped up

jayMakes11OP•7/6/23, 11:03 AM

for my needs, the best approach now seems to be a _middleware.js_middleware.js file that only matches on specific paths (e.g. mysite.com/blog/*mysite.com/blog/*, meaning /functions/blog/_middleware.js/functions/blog/_middleware.js) that handles all of the blog specific redirects (etc).

CCaeden welp now this popped up

what page were you on and what did you do before this happened?

I attempted to edit env production and then that error popped up and then this screen after atempting to go back.
