Pausing a redirect takes it out of service temporarily without deleting anything. The redirect, its sources and its settings stay in your account, and you can resume them whenever you like. That's useful during migrations and tests, or when you want to switch specific rules on and off without recreating them.
While paused, a redirect or source is ignored during matching. It handles no traffic and behaves as if it doesn't exist, while remaining visible in your dashboard.
Pausing a single source
A redirect with several sources can have individual sources paused. The other sources of the redirect keep working.
Pausing an entire redirect
Pause all sources of a redirect at once to disable it completely. Resume it later with a single click.
Bulk actions
Select multiple redirects in the overview to pause or resume them in one go.
API and MCP
Pausing and resuming is also available through the API and MCP, so you can automate it as part of your workflows.
