* docs: boost search ranking for single-word title pages Apply `boost: 3` to English pages whose H1 / frontmatter title is a single word (e.g. "Assistant", "Quickstart", "Cards"). Short titles tend to be canonical landing pages for a topic, so users searching the exact term should land on them first. * docs: drop boost on websocket-playground stub to keep canonical Playground ranking `api-playground/websocket-playground.mdx` is an auto-generated AsyncAPI stub with no body content but shares the title "Playground" with `api-playground/overview.mdx`. Boosting both equally diluted the canonical overview page in search for the query "playground". Drop the boost on the stub.

When you change the path of a file in your docs folder, it also changes the URL path to that page. This may happen when restructuring your docs or changing the sidebar title.
|

## Redirects
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
Redirects **cannot** include URL anchors like `path#anchor` or query parameters like `path?query=value`.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
Set up redirects by adding the `redirects` field to your `docs.json` file.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"redirects": [
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "/source/path",
|
|
"destination": "/destination/path"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This redirects `/source/path` to `/destination/path`.
|
|
|
|
By default, redirects are permanent (308). To use a temporary redirect (307), set `permanent` to `false`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"redirects": [
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "/source/path",
|
|
"destination": "/destination/path",
|
|
"permanent": false
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both 307 and 308 preserve the HTTP method of the original request (unlike 301 and 302), making them suitable for redirecting POST requests.
|
|
|
|
### Wildcard redirects
|
|
|
|
To match a wildcard path, use `*` after a parameter. In this example, `/beta/:slug*` matches `/beta/introduction` and redirects it to `/v2/introduction`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"redirects": [
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "/beta/:slug*",
|
|
"destination": "/v2/:slug*"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Partial wildcard redirects
|
|
|
|
Use partial wildcards to match URL segments that start with a specific prefix.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"redirects": [
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "/articles/concepts-*",
|
|
"destination": "/collections/overview"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This matches any URLs with the `/articles/concepts-` path, such as `/articles/concepts-getting-started` and `/articles/concepts-overview`, and redirects them all to `/collections/overview`.
|
|
|
|
You can also substitute the captured wildcard value in the destination.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"redirects": [
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "/old/article-*",
|
|
"destination": "/new/article-*"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This redirects `/old/article-123` to `/new/article-123`, preserving the captured value after the prefix.
|
|
|
|
### Avoid infinite redirects
|
|
|
|
To avoid infinite loops, do not create circular redirects where paths redirect back to each other.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"redirects": [
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "/docs/:slug*",
|
|
"destination": "/help/:slug*"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"source": "/help/:slug*",
|
|
"destination": "/docs/:slug*"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Check for broken links
|
|
|
|
Find broken links with the [CLI](/cli).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mint broken-links
|
|
```
|
