Flex Redirect
Targeted redirects based on URL parameters
Flex Redirect sends visitors to individual destination pages based on defined URL parameters. It is ideal for advertising campaigns, booking processes, external tools, landing pages and other applications that use query strings.
Try it for free or use the Pro Version for €19 per year
Redirect visitors based on URL parameters
Flex Redirect checks whether a specific parameter with a matching value is present in the query string when a page is opened.
When a defined combination is detected, the plugin automatically redirects the visitor to the assigned destination URL.
This allows you to route different campaign links, booking sources or external services to individual Joomla pages without creating a separate page or complicated server rule for every variation.
Flex Redirect supports both relative Joomla URLs and complete external destination URLs.
