Brand new! You asked for it, so we built it, and now we are happy to announce our new partial path matching feature. This new feature will let you future-proof your redirect planning, giving you greater control and flexibility of your redirects.

Partial path matching (also known as wildcard redirects on paths) will let you define redirects using “starts with” or “ends with” logic. You can now match the beginning or end of a path and define your target URL, allowing you to save time and resources by creating a catch-all for your redirects. Offering you a powerful feature to make sure your redirects never miss. Take a look at our partial path help article below for more detail on this exciting new feature.

We have just launched a small improvement to your experience while creating redirects. To make this as easy as possible, we have simplified the URL redirect creation process to include an ‘add multiple’ toggle for expansion if needed. When enabling the toggle you can redirect multiple source URLs to a single target at once.

We hope this update makes for a smoother redirect configuration process.

We've made a minor improvement to redirect management pages whereby we now always show the advanced settings when creating or editing a redirect. These settings were previously hidden by default and required users to click a button to reveal them.

We hope this minor change improves your experience when creating and editing redirects!

Our lost traffic analytics feature has proven to be incredibly valuable to many of our customers. We've just launched a new enhancement to this feature that enables you to download a CSV export of the lost traffic analytics data. You'll see both the URL that is returning 404s along with the number of requests we've seen for it. You can also select the date range you'd like included in the CSV export (up to a maximum of 30 days).

This new CSV export will enable you to prioritize which URLs you want to create new redirects for, and will help you start the process of creating a CSV import file which our team can assist you import into your account (on applicable plans).

We're confident this new feature will make it easier for you to ensure your audience is being redirected to the right place!

We've enabled DNSSEC on our primary domain name easyredir.com. This change improves EasyRedir's security posture by helping to prevent a variety of DNS-based attacks on this domain name.

It's also worth noting that DNSSEC has always been enabled on our easyredir.net domain name, which is used by our V2 redirector edge network. We recommend all customers on our V1 network adjust the DNS records of their hostnames to migrate to V2 at their earliest convenience. You can read more about the benefits of our V2 redirector edge network below.

We couldn't be more happy to announce the general availability of our new detailed analytics features! With detailed analytics, you can gain further insight into how we are processing traffic on your behalf. We've created eight new pages containing detailed charts and data tables that enable you to see exactly how much traffic has been processed across a variety of dimensions. We've also written an entire section of help pages about how to use this feature and how to understand that data we're presenting.

Our goal for detailed analytics is for you to confirm that our URL redirect service is processing your URL redirects in the way that you expect, to reveal more information about the location and technology of your audience, and learn how they're finding your content.

We're also very excited to share two other features that are related to analytics in an upcoming release. Stay tuned - we're just polishing them up at the moment and expect to have further announcements soon!

We've just launched a new user experience for customers to manage their SAML single sign-on (SSO) integrations. Previously, SSO set up was completed by our support team upon the request from a customer that subscribed to an applicable plan. Going forward, customers on applicable plans will be able to set up and manage SSO configurations on their own. You can find these settings in your dashboard under Settings > Single sign-on.

We hope you enjoy the improved ease-of-use around SAML SSO configuration. Let us know if you have any questions as you get set up!

We're pleased to announce that we have shipped a variety of new features that enhance account security and help us detect fraudulent accounts automatically.

Our dashboard will now use a wide array of signals to compute a score of how trustworthy a particular account operation is. Examples of these signals include where you're accessing our services from (your location, network, device, etc), where you've previously accessed our services, whether your IP or device is associated with other accounts, and many, many more. If, after looking at these signals, we determine that we'd like more assurance that you are actually you, we may prompt you for a code that we'll send via email.

We will continue to refine and enhance this system over time to ensure your dashboard's security.
