Hello, I am trying to implement a redirect from the Netlify subdomain to custom primary domain for my website built with Gatsby. Netlify subdomain: optimistic-bhaskara-b7453a Here are rules that figure in my _redirects file that is in the static folder of my Gatsby project. # Redirect default Ne…

Hi, @Sujay , and welcome to the Netlify community site. :+1: It appears that you got it working on your own. I see you have made deploys since the topic was posted and the redirect does work now when I test. Here is an example of the redirect working with curl: $ curl -svo /dev/null https://optimi…

Hello @luke Thanks for your answer but the redirect is still not operational. When I click on the Netlify subdomain address it still points to the subdomain address and doesn’t redirect to the primary custom domain. https://optimistic-bhaskara-b7453a.netlify.com/

Hi, @Sujay , again this is not what I see when testing. I see there is a service worker for this site. I suspect the local service worker is preventing the HTTP request from reaching Netlify and blocking the redirect. The redirect doesn’t occur because the browser doesn’t even make the HTTP request …

Hello @luke , Thanks for your response. I unregistered the service worker but the redirect from the Netlify subdomain to my primary custom domain was still not working. Hence I have restored the service worker because Google appreciates websites that work offline, a feature that service workers faci…

That request ID was served on 11 March, though you wrote in on 13 March. Pretty sure it the misbehavior for you is still service worker + caching related - the redirect is working well for everyone else without cache (even upon return visits)

Hello @fool @luke , I had made the request on the same day as I wrote my response i.e. 13.03.2020 strictly following Luke’s article mentioned above. What is reassuring is that I checked the redirection on Safari and it’s working but not on Chome. So it’s very likely that some local Chrome setting on…

Hi, @Sujay . For that x-nf-request-id I think we have an explanation for why the redirect didn’t work. I’m showing this was the active deploy when that request was received: Netlify App Start building the best web experiences in record time Note what is says…

Hello @luke , When I test the curl command you have mentioned, the redirect is working. But in Chrome the redirect doesn’t work whereas on Safari it does. So it’s certainly misbehaviour caused by a local setting on my individual Chrome browser. I am sending you the output of the curl request by DM b…

Yeah, that must be a cache problem, try clearing it: Clear cache & cookies - Computer - Google Account Help

Thanks for your suggestion. That is the first thing I tried. It didn’t work.
