SEO Optimization

Prevent duplicate content issues and consolidate link equity.

Zero Origin Load

Redirects are handled at the edge, before reaching your server.

Parameter Preservation

Automatically preserves all path and query string parameters.

How it works

The WAF engine checks the Host header of every incoming request. If it doesn't match the canonical format (e.g., 'www.wafninja.com' vs 'wafninja.com'), a 301 Permanent Redirect is issued immediately at the edge.

Notes

Redirects are executed at the edge, meaning zero load on your origin server and maximum SEO benefit.
