How redirect analytics work

Every redirect lookup processed by the Edge API generates an analytics event via Cloudflare Analytics Engine, capturing the response status, edge location, and timestamp. These events are synced periodically to your dashboard, providing near real-time visibility into redirect traffic.

The dashboard aggregates events across multiple dimensions: time (hourly, daily, weekly), geography (by edge location and country), top hit/miss paths, and status (2xx, 3xx, 4xx breakdowns). You can drill down from a high-level overview to top path performance with a few clicks.

Latency percentiles (p50, p95, p99) are computed using t-digest sketches for memory-efficient quantile estimation. This means you see accurate latency distributions even across billions of events without storing every individual measurement.

Analytics dashboard use cases

1

Performance monitoring

Track redirect latency percentiles across regions to identify slow edge locations or rules that take longer to evaluate.

2

Traffic analysis

Understand which redirect rules see the most traffic and identify seasonal or time-of-day patterns in redirect volume.

3

Error investigation

Monitor 404 rates and unmatched URL patterns to discover missing rules or URLs that should be redirected but are not.

4

Capacity planning

Use historical trend data to forecast lookup volume growth and ensure your plan has headroom for traffic spikes.

Actionable insights into redirect performance

The analytics dashboard is built for teams that need to understand their redirect infrastructure at a glance. The overview page shows four key metrics — total lookups, average latency, cache hit rate, and error rate — with sparkline trend graphs for each. Anomalies are highlighted automatically when a metric deviates significantly from its baseline.

Top paths analytics show the most frequently hit and missed paths across your project, helping you identify which URLs are most active and which are generating 404s. This level of detail helps you understand traffic patterns and optimize your rule set.

Data retention scales with your plan — 7 days on the free tier, 30 days on Pro, and up to 365 days for Enterprise. Pro and Enterprise tiers include anomaly detection to highlight unusual traffic patterns automatically.
