Force Redirect

Scenarios

Force redirect to HTTP: If you do not have high security requirements, use 301 or 302 to forcibly redirect all client requests to HTTP.

Force redirect to HTTPS: If you have set a certificate for your domain name on CDN and you pay more attention to business security, use 301 or 302 to forcibly redirect all client requests to HTTPS.

Precautions

• To redirect requests to HTTPS, configure an HTTPS certificate for your domain name first.
• If you have configured force redirect to HTTPS, disabling the certificate will also disable force redirect to HTTPS.
• If you enable HTTP/2, force redirect to HTTP does not take effect.
