Routing configuration

Routing configuration covers everything between a visitor's request and your origin server: where the request is sent, how it is rewritten on the way, what WebOptiva answers directly, and what happens when your origin stops responding. Every edit starts as a draft, and the domain's Deploy button promotes the whole set to live traffic together.

How it works

  • One primary origin plus ordered backups, each with its own health check
  • Redirects change the URL in the browser; rewrites proxy to a different path while the URL stays put
  • Store small files like robots.txt on the edge and serve them through rewrite rules
  • Draft a maintenance page, exclude health paths, and serve it only after Deploy
  • Deploy bumps the config version; the History tab records every draft and deployed change

Good to know

  • Origins are re-validated by the same safety guard used for audits, so internal or non-public addresses are rejected
  • Draft rules never affect live traffic until you deploy — try changes safely
  • The origin health worker is disabled by default; enable it after outbound health-check access is approved
  • Several Advanced sections are pilot features and only appear when your plan includes them
  • Rewrites proxy to a different path inside the same domain; redirects change the URL the browser sees
