Introducing Traffic Anomaly Alerts on redirection.io

We are excited to announce a new addition to the redirection.io platform: Traffic Anomaly Alerts! This powerful feature enables you to receive notifications when unexpected changes in traffic patterns are detected on your website, giving you real-time insights into potential issues such as sudden traffic spikes or drops, or unusual traffic patterns from specific countries or IPs.

This feature, available for "Pro" plan users, adds to our robust notification system, which already allows you to track essential events such as DNS changes, instance status updates, SSL certificate renewals, and more. Now, with Traffic Anomaly Alerts, you can further enhance your website's monitoring and response strategy.

Why Traffic Anomaly Alerts Matter

The traffic anomaly alerts are designed to help you stay on top of your website's performance by providing instant notifications when unusual activity is detected. Key benefits include:

  • Early Issue Detection: Be alerted to sudden increases in HTTP errors (4xx, 5xx), dips in website traffic, or suspicious spikes from specific countries or IP addresses.
  • Customizable Thresholds: Tailor the alerts to your specific needs, ensuring that you are notified only when meaningful traffic deviations occur, and preventing unnecessary notifications.
  • Faster Response Times: By knowing instantly when traffic anomalies occur, you can act quickly to resolve issues and minimize potential damage to your website's performance or user experience.

How to Set Up Traffic Anomaly Alerts

Configuring a traffic anomaly alert in redirection.io is simple and flexible. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. redirection.io notification type selectionSelect the Notification Type: Choose the "Traffic anomaly" notification option to start setting up your custom alert.

  2. Configuring the alertDefine the Monitoring Criteria: In this step, you’ll select a Log View to monitor (e.g., all 4xx errors, or traffic from a specific IP address, the traffic under a specific path). Then, set up the threshold for triggering alerts. You can preview when the notification would have been triggered based on recent data, allowing you to fine-tune your settings.

    Examples of potential configurations:

    • Notify when more than 10% of all traffic consists of 4xx errors within a 10-minute window.
    • Alert when the total number of requests drops below a certain threshold within the last 5 minutes.
    • Trigger an alert when traffic from a particular IP or country exceeds a specified volume.
  3. Notification channelsSelect Notification Channels: Choose how and where you want to be notified — email, Slack, or webhook.

  4. Enable or pauseEnable the Notification: Finally, activate the alert. You can pause or mute it later if needed, ensuring you're only notified when it's truly necessary.

Fine-Tuning Your Alerts

We recommend experimenting with the thresholds to make sure they fit your website’s typical traffic patterns. In step 2, the preview functionality allows you to simulate how the alert would behave based on historical data. This ensures that you set conditions that are sensitive enough to catch real anomalies without triggering false alarms.

The ability to customize alerts to your website’s needs provides a proactive monitoring solution, helping you mitigate issues before they escalate into bigger problems, and ensuring that your team remains informed in real time.

Get Started Today!

Traffic Anomaly Alerts are now live for all users on the "Pro" plan. Set them up in your project to start benefiting from better control, insight, and rapid response capabilities when traffic issues arise on your website. With this feature, redirection.io continues to provide you with the tools you need to manage website performance efficiently.

If you have any questions or need assistance setting up your alerts, don’t hesitate to consult our documentation or contact support!

Introducing One-Click Testing for Your Entire Redirection Plan

We’re excited to announce a groundbreaking new feature within redirection.io: the ability to test all your redirection rules at once, with just a single click! This enhancement ensures that your redirect plan works exactly as expected, even when managing complex rulesets with tens of thousands of redirections. Whether you're launching a site migration, updating content, or refining your user experience, this tool offers unparalleled convenience, accuracy, and confidence.

Key Benefits at a Glance

  • Instant Validation: Ensure that all redirection rules work as intended without manual checking.
  • Scalability: Perfect for large-scale projects with extensive rule sets.
  • Proactive Error Detection: Identify potential conflicts or rule overrides before they affect your users.
  • Chains and Loops Dectection: Do not ship in production a redirections plan that contains redirect chains or, worse, loops.

Understanding the Power of Rule Testing in redirection.io

One of redirection.io's standout features is the ability to attach example requests to each rule you create. These examples allow you to test how each rule behaves in real-world scenarios before it goes live. During the rule creation process, the "Impact" step becomes crucial: redirection.io evaluates how the new rule interacts with all other rules in your set. This way, you can see how requests will be processed, whether they should trigger the rule, and what specific actions will be executed (e.g., a 301 redirect).

Example: Analyzing the Impact of a Rule

For example, say you're creating a rule to redirect https://example.com/shop/about to /buy/about. After setting up the rule and adding sample requests, the "Impact" table will show you whether the rule is triggered correctly and if any other existing rules are affected.

Here’s what you’ll see:

Impact results

This feature doesn’t just check if the new rule works; it also warns you about any potential rule conflicts, including cases where actions might be overridden by higher-priority rules. If there’s an error, like a redirection loop, redirection.io alerts you to correct it before going live.

👉 Read our documentation about the possible example matching statuses

How redirection.io Helps with Specific Request Testing

In addition to evaluating individual rules, redirection.io allows you to test specific requests against your entire ruleset. The “Test the Rules” feature lets you input a URL, add extra conditions like HTTP method or request headers, and see a detailed breakdown of which rules get triggered.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Navigate to the "Test the Rules" page.
  2. Enter the URL you want to analyze.
  3. Optionally, add advanced parameters like HTTP method or source IP address.
  4. Hit “Test this Request” to see which rules are activated and the actions they produce.

Testing a specific request is possible in redirection.io

This feature is invaluable when you're troubleshooting unexpected redirects or verifying that your rules handle specific requests correctly.

One-Click Testing for All Rules

For Pro Plan customers, redirection.io takes rule testing a step further with the "Test All Rules" feature. This feature is designed to validate every rule in your set, saving you time and effort, especially when working with large or complex rulesets.

Imagine you’ve set up thousands of rules and have just added a new one. You can now instantly check if this new rule will disrupt any previously established rules. With "Test All Rules," redirection.io will show you potential conflicts and errors, along with suggestions for resolving them.

Here’s an example of what you’ll see when an issue is detected:

An error is happening during the test of all rules

If your newly created rule affects any previously set rules, you’ll get a detailed breakdown of the problem. Once identified, you can resolve the conflict before deploying changes, guaranteeing that your entire redirection strategy remains intact.

Deploy with Confidence

Managing a large set of redirects has never been easier. With redirection.io’s suite of tools—including rule impact analysis, specific request testing, and one-click testing of your entire ruleset—you can deploy redirects confidently, knowing that everything will work as planned.

By leveraging these advanced testing capabilities, you avoid common issues such as broken redirects, rule overrides, and complex redirection loops. Whether you're working with a few rules or managing thousands, redirection.io ensures that you stay in control of your redirection strategy.

Introducing the redirection.io Vercel middleware

Last year, we have launched the redirection.io managed instances, a great way to use redirection.io without having to install and maintain the redirection.io agent on your servers. With the managed instances, it takes a few clicks to get started with redirection.io, and you can start monitoring and fixing your website's redirections in no time.

In certain setups, however, the backend service used to serve your website does not correctly handle the traffic coming from reverse proxies, and considers that a large amount of requests arriving from a specific range of IP addresses is suspicious. Automated security systems are perfectly right to be cautious, but in this case, it can lead to false positives, and the managed instances might be blocked by the backend service if it is not correctly configured to accept traffic from our managed instances.

This was the case with Vercel, a very popular platform to deploy websites and serverless functions. While perfectly working most of the time, we have recently begun to receive reports from users that a part of their traffic was being refused by their Vercel backend. After some investigation, we found that Vercel's security systems were blocking some of our managed instances IP addresses, and on some Vercel websites only. Sharing this information with Vercel, we have been able to confirm that the issue was due to the way Vercel's security systems were configured, and that it was possible to whitelist the managed instances IP addresses - except for Vercel Enterprise plan subscribers.

To make it easier and more reliable for our users to use redirection.io with Vercel, we have developed a Vercel middleware that packages the Web Assembly version of the agent, that we already distribute as an open source project. This middleware is a small piece of code that you can add to your Vercel project, and that will automatically handle the incoming requests and apply the rules configured in your redirection.io project.

Deploying the redirection.io Vercel middleware requires developer access to your Vercel project and can be done in a few steps:

  1. Install the redirection.io Vercel middleware in your Vercel application;
    $ npm install @redirection.io/vercel-middleware
    
    // or with yarn
    $ yarn add @redirection.io/vercel-middleware
    
  2. The Vercel setting page to add the REDIRECTIONIO_TOKEN environment variableConfigure the redirection.io Vercel middleware with your redirection.io project's key as a Vercel environment variable named REDIRECTIONIO_TOKEN;
  3. Enable the middleware in your Vercel application
    // src/middleware.ts
    import redirectionioMiddleware from '@redirection.io/vercel-middleware';
    
    export default redirectionioMiddleware;
    
    export const config = {
        unstable_allowDynamic: [
            '/node_modules/@redirection.io/**',
        ],
    }
    
  4. Deploy your Vercel application.

That's it! Your Vercel application is now using the redirection.io Vercel middleware, and you can start monitoring and fixing your website's redirections in no time.

👉 Read our complete documentation about the redirection.io Vercel Middleware.

The redirection.io Vercel middelware package is available as an open-source package on our GitHub page.

A series of improvements on the logs explorer

When it comes to collecting HTTP traffic logs, redirection.io is one of the best solutions on the market: once installed, you get all the HTTP traffic logs of your website in real time, and you can use them to analyze user behavior, monitor website performance, and debug issues.

Collecting logs has been one of redirection.io's core features since the beginning and we've been working hard to make it as efficient and reliable as possible. To achieve this, we have been using a lot of different technologies and experimenting with a lot of solutions. As a result, we have recently taken some steps towards making our logs feature the most efficient and reliable it can be and we thought it would be interesting to share the improvements with our community.

Introducing Log View Counters

Two years ago, we added the concept of "Logs views", which was an innovative way to save individual logs screen configurations as bookmarks, so that users could easily access their preffered view at all times. This feature became very popular, and many of our users utilize it to monitor specific parts of their website, or only a range of HTTP status codes, user agents, etc.

Since then, we've been thinking of interesting ways to go further and to add some kind of "counters" to the logs views allowing users to see the number of logs in each view more easily.

Today, we are enabling, for all our users, the new "Log View Counters" feature, which is a way to "pin" several clickable log view counters at the top of the logs screen, so that you can see the number of logs that match the log view. This is a very simple feature, but it is very useful, and we hope that it will help you to better understand your HTTP traffic logs.

Logs timeline navigation

Also, it is a shame that our logs GUI did not easily allow you to navigate in the logs history - this is now fixed and we have added "back" and "forward" buttons to the logs screen, so that you can easily navigate in the timeline.

New filters and aggregations

Some new filters and aggregations are available in the logs explorer, so that you can better understand your HTTP traffic logs. Of course, all these filters can be used in combination with log views, so you can prepare specific traffic views that match your business and your website structure.

For example, we have added the ability to filter logs by "Path" (see only the requests for which the path starts with /blog), "Referrer Host" (which domains to the visitors come from?) or "Query params" (did the URL of the request contain a query parameter?).

Customers using our fully managed instances or the redirection.io agent in reverse proxy mode can also display and filter requests by their "Duration", which is basically the time it took for the backend to process the request. This duration is measured at the redirection.io agent level, from the moment the agent receives the request to the moment it begins to send the response to the client. This is a very useful metric to monitor the performance of your website, and to detect slow pages. This metric can be used to inspect the performance of the redirection.io agent when it comes to performing redirections: most of the time, you should see a 0 ms. duration of such requests, as the agent is able to perform redirections almost instantly.

Faster logs exports

Since day one, we have allowed the export of traffic logs in CSV format. Recently, we've made several changes in our logs storage infrastructure which have resulted in a faster logs export feature. You can now export logs in a matter of seconds, even very large logs sets.

More logs per day

Historically, there has been a limit of 2 million rows per day (even for free projects), in order to avoid performance issues and offer a quality service to all our users. We've even allowed temporary bursts in order to accept traffic peaks. In the current situation, we collect and process every day several billions of HTTP requests.

Overquota logs being displayed

Since September 2023, we allow to extend the logs retention duration, so our customers can have an insight on their detailed logs for up to 12 weeks. This has been a great step forward for SEO consultants, as this allows them to cover a complete Googlebot exploration window and get clear insights of the traffic fixes priorities: which 404 errors did Googlebot encounter, which pages are the most crawled, where is the crawl budget consumed, etc.

However, we were still missing the ability to upper the amount of logs that can be loaded in a project each day. This was a bit problematic for some of our customers, who have very high traffic websites and who wanted to collect all the logs of their website - the over quota logs were dropped, and this was a bit frustrating as it translated into a flat traffic chart and eventually a loss in the traffic errors collection.

This is now a thing of the past, and "Pro" plan customers can now request higher daily traffic logs limits. We will not detail why collecting an exhaustive view of traffic logs is important from a SEO perspective, as this has already been covered in many other articles, but we are happy to offer this new feature to our customers.

👉 Please contact us if you wish to increase your daily logs quota.

We always love to hear from our customers, and we are always happy to help you to better understand your HTTP traffic logs. Please contact us if you have any questions, if you need some help to extract information from your logs or if you have ideas of features that you would like to see in redirection.io. We are working hard to improve the logs explorer and have many new improvements coming in the next months, so stay tuned!

Enhancing security and flexibility: introducing multiple project keys in redirection.io

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, safeguarding your online assets is of paramount importance. Whether you're protecting sensitive data, ensuring the privacy of your users, or simply maintaining control over your web services, having robust security measures in place is essential. That's why we're thrilled to introduce a new feature in our SaaS platform - Multiple Project Keys - designed to give you greater control and flexibility over your projects in redirection.io.

The Project Key: The Project Configuration Secret

Before diving into the new feature, let's first understand the significance of the "project key." This unique string is the linchpin of your redirection.io project. It's the secret sauce that binds an instance to a specific project, allowing it to access and interact with the associated rules and logs. By default, every project receives a project key, which you can directly use to configure your redirection.io agent instance. However, there are scenarios where having multiple project keys can be helpful.

Why Multiple Project Keys Matter

Here are a few compelling reasons why you might want to utilize multiple project keys:

  • Enhanced Security: If your project key becomes public knowledge, it could pose a significant risk. With multiple project keys, you can rotate or change keys as needed to maintain the utmost security.
  • Development-Production Segregation: To maintain a clear separation between development and production environments, you can use specific project keys for each. This way, your development team can work without access to the production project key, ensuring data integrity.
  • Key Expiration: Sometimes, you might want a project key to have a limited lifespan. With the option to set expiration dates on project keys, you can control when they stop working.

Introducing Multiple Project Keys

redirection.io now offers the capability to create as many project keys as you require. Each project key can be customized with a name, helping you clarify why it was created, and an optional expiration date, ensuring it ceases to work after a set time.

redirection.io project key management

Key Rotation for Improved Security

If you suspect that your project key has been compromised or simply want to enhance security, our platform makes it easy to rotate project keys. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Create a new perpetual project key that will serve as the replacement.
  2. Add an expiration date to the old project key, ensuring it will no longer function after that date.
  3. Update your instance configurations with the new project key.

The graphical interface also displays the last time a project key was used, allowing you to determine when it's safe to remove the old key. This way, you can rest assured that all your instances have been updated, and the old project key is no longer in use.

The introduction of Multiple Project Keys in redirection.io is a significant step forward. With this feature, you can enhance the security of your projects, maintain clear separations between environments, and have full control over the lifespan of your project keys. To learn more about this feature, check out our documentation about instances and project keys.

Exciting News: introducing managed instances for easier redirection.io deployment!

We're thrilled to announce a game-changing feature - "Managed Instances" - designed to simplify your experience with redirection.io.

Historically, redirection.io was a self-hosted hybrid product, which means that users had to install the agent on their own servers. Now, with Managed Instances, we offer a hosted version, taking the hassle out of infrastructure management. Basically, users must configure their domain name to target it to our infrastructure, and it works in minutes.

The redirection.io managed instances sits between the customers and your infrastructure
  • target your domain DNS to our servers
  • works in minutes
  • automatic SSL is provided

Shortly said, a redirection.io managed instance is a redirection.io agent server hosted on the infrastructure provided by redirection.io. It is capable of handling redirects for your blank domains, and can also act as a reverse proxy for your websites, with all the redirection.io superpowers inside.

Multiple deployment modes

Along with our historical "hybrid" deployment, and the "On-Premise" deployment mode, we cover a very flexible and large range of situations, making redirection.io the most versatile SEO reverse proxy out there:

  • the whole platform is deployed on your own servers

Benefits of Managed Instances

redirection.io managed instances are a great option for users who don't want to manage their own infrastructure, or who don't have the technical skills to do so. But there are other key benefits to using managed instances:

  • Automatic SSL: Managed Instances automatically generate SSL certificates for your domain names (using Let's Encrypt). It takes seconds, saving you from certificate management complexities.
  • Global Presence: Our infrastructure spans multiple Points of Presence worldwide, ensuring lightning-fast redirection rule execution for your end users.
  • Hassle-Free: No need to manage your own infrastructure. Simply configure your domain name to point to our infrastructure, and we'll handle the rest.
  • High Availability: Managed Instances are replicated across multiple data centers, offering a highly available service without any management on your part.

We are very happy with the results so far, and we are looking forward to have more users using it. The technology behind it is very solid, and we are confident that it will scale well - it has been designed for this. Each managed instance is isolated from the others, both in terms of data management or CPU consumption, and we have a lot of monitoring in place to ensure that everything is working as expected.

Cost and Availability

Managed Instances come at no additional cost compared to our standard plans. They're available to all users, regardless of their subscription plan. You can create Managed Instances directly in the manager, under the "instances" section.

There are however some restrictions on the number of managed instances that can be created, depending on the plan, and on the amount of bandwidth that a project can use each month. These limits and quotas are described in our documentation.

Getting Started

Managed instances have been in production for several months now, and we have already many customers using it successfully. The use cases are very diverse, from small websites to large e-commerce websites:

  • Redirect blank or naked domain names.
  • Create a company URL shortening service.
  • Get all the powerful features of redirection.io without installing any components on your website. It's compatible with various platforms, including major eCommerce SaaS solutions, GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, Shopify, and more.

Setting up Managed Instances is a breeze. We provide extensive documentation to guide you, and our dedicated support team is ready to assist with any questions.
