Dynamic 301 Redirects for All Pages - Upper Case

Go to solution Solved by Shadmon,

Hi All,

I am looking for a way to standardize my 301 redirects so that a manual listing of every individual link is not needed. Specifically, I want wildcards or custom code so that versions of my URL slugs including any (or all) upper-case letters would redirect to the all lower-case versions used by Squarespace. I have heard that eliminating issues with upper-case and lower-case letters helps with SEO. An example of dynamic code is shown within the below, but I am not sure if this kind of code is supported within Squarespace.

Sample Code Below from the Above Link:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /${lowercase:$1} [R=301,L]

One post I found made it sound like this was not possible on Squarespace unfortunately, but I wanted to see if this was still the case. Link provided below.

Thanks Shadmon. I had that same page bookmarked and was aware of the manual approach, but I was hoping for a more dynamic approach to avoid having to maintain a manual list. Even for a site that only has a few pages, going manual can result in large number of mappings (especially if you are looking to extra safe and cover every possible iteration of capitalization). For example,

Thank you! That link helps. I also put together a file in Excel using text functions (LEFT, MID, RIGHT, etc.) to help automate this process somewhat. Maybe allowing for a dynamic/automated approach is something Squarespace could consider for a future release.
