Proposed changes
https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/
Subject Matter
Page Rules/Rules
Content Location
I want old page rules back. they are easy to apply. we wasted 8 hours in redirecting subdomain to root in new page rule, we saw many videos on youtube, nothing found. In the end we add old page rule, that works within a second.
New Rules are very confusing and we still not know ABC of new rules.
Please make a user friendly documentation not bot friendly.

@rishavayadav, what kind of redirect were you trying to configure? We already have plans to add more examples to https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/reference/page-rules-migration/#migrate-forwarding-url and will use your feedback to improve this section.
I agree the new rules are very badly designed.
They ask you to choose between "static" and "dynamic" with no description at all on what those terms are supposed to mean, since there is no such terminology in HTTP standards.
For example I just want to redirect domain1.com/* to domain2.com/$1, is that a "static" or "dynamic" redirect? It was very simple with the old page rules.
Or another common example is to add/remove www, so I want to redirect www.domain1.com/* to https://domain1.com/$1
And besides the static/dynamic, it's not clear at all how to write the rules.
Hello! Since this issue was opened, we've done numerous updates to our public documentation. We've also introduced wildcard matching support on all Cloudflare plans so that rule expressions are easier to write. Also, Page Rules are not going away for the time being. And when the time comes, Cloudflare will perform the migration for you.
