    Trying to avoid visitor load to my server and will be using Cloudflare CDN. Can the CDN catch the redirect without reaching for the server? Thanks

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out. If you’re using a 301 redirect for your pretty links then the redirects should be cached by default in the user’s browser, but if you’re using a caching solution such as Cloudflare then other redirects such as 302 or 307 should be cached as well which will prevent requests to your web server.

    However, please note that if a caching solution is in place then click tracking won’t work correctly since Pretty Link’s code won’t run to record that information so if you’re needing that data then I’d recommend excluding your pretty links from caching.

    I hope this helps!

    Kind regards,
