How URL redirection works with #CoreAdmin

All URL redirection configured is placed directly into Web server configuration, without touching your site .htaccess file (for example).

This makes possible to configure URL redirection not only for webpages with php but also for the rest of technologies available.

At the same time, this avoids any possibility to interfere with software doing .htaccess automatic changes like #Wordpress or #Prestashop.

URL redirection limits and performance

It is known working cases where users are configuring more than 40.000 url redirections without any issue. It is not known where could be performance problems though 40.000 is a good number.
