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

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

jayMakes11•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

WalshyOP•7/6/23, 10:50 AM

you can also try Pages

WalshyOP•7/6/23, 10:50 AM

https://pages.dev/

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?

WalshyOP•7/6/23, 10:52 AM

i mean, you can add subdomains. Serving

jobs.html

jobs.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)

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

WalshyOP•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).

jayMakes11•7/6/23, 10:54 AM

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

jayMakes11•7/6/23, 10:54 AM

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

jayMakes11•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

jayMakes11•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

the 2000 limit seems pretty arbitrary.

WalshyOP•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

it is

WalshyOP•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

but we can't make it infinite

WalshyOP•7/6/23, 10:55 AM

so there needs to be some reasonable limit

WWalshy so there needs to be some reasonable limit

jayMakes11•7/6/23, 10:56 AM

i wonder how netlify handles this...

WalshyOP•7/6/23, 10:56 AM

they have a limit too

WalshyOP•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...
