Cloudflare Rules

Available on all plans

Cloudflare Rules allows you to make adjustments to requests and responses, configure Cloudflare settings, and trigger specific actions for matching requests.

Rules features require that you proxy the DNS records of your domain (or subdomain) through Cloudflare.


​​ Features

Modify the URLs of incoming requests so that they conform to a consistent formatting standard.

​​ Redirects

Redirect visitors from a source URL to a target URL with a specific HTTP status code. Use Single Redirects or Bulk Redirects depending on your use case.

​​ Origin Rules

Customize where the incoming traffic will go and with which parameters. Override request properties such as Host header, destination hostname, and destination port.

​​ Configuration Rules

Customize Cloudflare configuration settings for matching incoming requests.

​​ Compression Rules

Customize the compression applied to responses from Cloudflare’s global network to your website visitors, based on the file extension and content type.
