Paint Layout on Redirect Assets

Hi @harinder.singh,

Because Funnelback follows redirects, it won’t store the URL that is there before it was redirected, and because the URL after the redirect is on another website, it won’t be included in the results.

I think to get around this, you’d need to change the Redirect Page assets to use the delay so it actually uses JS to redirect. See the docs on how to achieve this (try without the paint layout first, I think it would just be some very, very basic HTML with a script tag by default).

This way, when Funnelback crawls that page, it just sees a script tag and not much else, and would leave it alone. Users would still generally be able to get to the destination page, either seeing a temporary message and then getting redirected, or clicking the link shown to go immediately.

On the Funnelback side, you could use external metadata to add what you need (unless Matrix still renders the regular page metadata for the Redirect Page when using the JS redirect method).

Hope that helps,
