Redirect Rules for All; How to configure redirects for your static site

To better grasp redirects, let's dive into what the process of a redirect entails. A redirect is an explicit instruction by the server to find a specific resource elsewhere. This communication between client and server happens over HTTP/HTTPS, a web protocol that enables the server to communicate the status of a request to the browser. In a redirect scenario, the browser first attempts to visit a URL but is instructed to visit another URL instead. Similar to the process of mail delivery, a browser needs explicit instructions from the server on how to respond to a request from the client. Redirect rules make use of HTTP status codes to handle browser redirects. Achieving a redirect requires configuring your server with the necessary instructions on how to handle incoming requests, and Netlify provides an easy solution to handle redirects without having to fuss with unwieldy server configurations.
