Redirect Supply vs Cloudflare Redirect Rules: Redirects without the rule engine
Cloudflare can handle redirects too, as one feature inside a large CDN and security platform. To use it, your domain moves onto Cloudflare, and you choose between Single Redirects written as rule expressions and Bulk Redirects built from static lists. Redirect Supply does one thing: connect a domain with a few DNS records, then map pages, wildcards, and fallbacks in one dashboard, with HTTPS handled for you.

FAQs
Questions about Cloudflare Redirect Rules and Redirect Supply
Do I need to move my domain to Cloudflare to use Redirect Rules?
Yes. Cloudflare's redirect features require your domain's DNS records to be proxied through Cloudflare, which usually means switching your nameservers. Redirect Supply only needs a few records added at whatever DNS provider you already use.
What's the difference between Single Redirects and Bulk Redirects?
Single Redirects are rules written per domain, using expressions and wildcards to match many URLs at once. Bulk Redirects are account-wide lists of fixed source and target URLs, without regex or string replacement. In Redirect Supply, page rules, wildcards, and a global fallback all live in one place.
How many redirects can I create on Cloudflare's free plan?
Cloudflare's Free plan includes 10 Single Redirect rules per domain, with 25 on Pro and 50 on Business, and regex only on Business and Enterprise. Bulk Redirects add static URL lists with their own plan limits. Redirect Supply includes unlimited path rules on every paid plan, starting at $6 a month billed yearly.
Can I use Redirect Supply if my DNS is already on Cloudflare?
Yes. You add the records Redirect Supply shows you in Cloudflare's DNS settings, like at any other provider. The rest of your Cloudflare setup, such as your main website or email, stays as it is. Follow the DNS setup guide.
Cloudflare is free. Why use Redirect Supply?
Because free isn't the same as simple. Cloudflare's redirects live inside a platform built for CDN, security, and performance, with their own rule language and limits. Redirect Supply is built only for redirects, with a free plan for your first domain and a dashboard anyone on your team can use.
How do I move my Cloudflare redirects to Redirect Supply?
List your redirects in a CSV using Redirect Supply's import format, import the file, then update the domain's records to point to Redirect Supply. Remove the old Cloudflare rules once DNS has propagated, so the two don't conflict.
