Try a Live Edge Redirect — No Sign-Up Required

·3 min read

Enter a URL below and we'll create a real redirect — live on the public internet in under a second. Click it, share it, test it from wherever you are. No account, no credit card. It expires in 24 hours.

That's not a mockup — it's a real redirect served from our global edge network. Share that link with someone on the other side of the world and they get redirected from an edge location near them, not from a single server halfway around the planet.

Why it's instant, and why nothing gets stored

There's no database behind that redirect. Your destination URL and a 24-hour expiry are encoded and cryptographically signed into the link itself, so the edge can verify and serve it without a round-trip to any origin server. That's also why we can offer it publicly with no login: there's no record of "URLs people tried" for anyone to breach, the signature can't be forged to point somewhere else, and there's nothing to clean up when it expires — it just stops working. For the full mechanics of URL forwarding — 301 vs 302, DNS, what to look for in a service — see our URL Forwarder guide.

This is exactly how fast your redirects will go live

The demo above isn't a watered-down preview — it's the same propagation speed a real account gets. Add or edit a redirect rule in RedirectIQ and it's live at the edge, globally, usually within about a minute. No deploy pipeline, no config file to commit, no waiting on a build. Change it at 2pm, it's live within the minute — everywhere at once.

A production redirect on your own domain gets everything the demo doesn't:

  • Permanent, not 24-hour — stays live until you change it
  • 301 or 302 — pick per rule
  • Path passthrough — /old/page/* forwards to /new/page/* automatically
  • SSL auto-provisioned — connect a domain with one CNAME, we handle the certificate
  • Bulk import — thousands of redirects from a CSV in one go

Need to serve another site's content through your domain instead of redirecting the visitor away? That's Edge Proxy — same edge network, different behavior: the URL bar never changes.

Try it on a real domain

Enter your domain below and we'll get you started — your first permanent redirect is live in a couple of minutes.

Once you're in:

1. Point your domain's DNS at RedirectIQ — we auto-provision SSL

2. Add a redirect rule, or bulk import a CSV of old → new URLs

3. It's live at the edge in seconds — same speed as the demo above, but permanent and yours

This is an example of how simple it is to create redirects with RedirectIQ. No matter what your use case is, from domain consolidation to site migrations, we have you covered. This blog was fun to write and we hope you enjoyed it, thanks for giving it a shot.
