unable to create rules

it says how to here https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/transform/url-rewrite/create-dashboard/ but it just doesn't appear to be anywhere, the webpage I have is rather simple in what it needs
/ /home.html
/channels/* /app.html
/channels /app.html
/invite /invite.html
/invite/* /invite.html
/template/* /template.html
/template /template.html
/ /home.html
/channels/* /app.html
/channels /app.html
/invite /invite.html
/invite/* /invite.html
/template/* /template.html
/template /template.html
these should just be those files, not redirrects

I'm just trying to see if cloudflare pages would work to host my website

Do you have a domain?

not yet, I want to make sure my website can actually work before getting one

Rules are applied to Zones(domains, basically), so if you don't have a domain yet, there isn't anything to apply the Rules to

and there's no way for me to do what I need to do to make my website work without getting a domain? the .pages.dev page wouldn't work?

Yeah, you don't really "own" the pages.dev domain, so you can't apply rules to it

is there an alternative to rules or something I could do to get this to work? also ty for the quick responces

You could use Functions to rewrite the requests, but that can cost money, depending on how many requests you use You get 100k requests for free a day

if I did get a domain, this would be doable with rules right?
Hard@Work
Hard@Work7mo ago
Yeah, that should work for free

ty for the swift responces :3 there we go marked as solved (was looking to get a cf domain, and thought I might try cf pages to see if that'd work, but it seems I'll need to try afterwards lol)

Did you find this page helpful?
