Testing URL Redirections
Running a Test
Testing URL Redirections in Agility is easy! Let’s look at how we can test them, identify when they’re not working, and take action to fix or remove them.
1. Click Pages, and then URL Redirections in the bottom-left
2. Select the Redirection(s) you’d like to test
3. From the Selection Drop-down, click Test
4. Confirm your choice in the pop-out tab and click Test one more time
Depending on how many URL’s you’re testing, this might take a few minutes as they’re tested 100 at a time.
Once finished, you’ll be given a summary of the results
