Question 6: Redirection by User Agent

Response

Dear Customer,

Cloudflare Page Rules do not support user agent-based redirects. Use a Cloudflare Worker to achieve this for MSIE 8.0 users.

Steps to Resolve

Deploy a Worker with if (request.headers.get('User-Agent').includes('MSIE 8.0')) return Response.redirect('/alternative'); via the Cloudflare Dashboard on your site’s route.

Test the configuration and report any issues.

Best regards,
Omir

Tools I would use:

Cloudflare Workers - dash.cloudflare.com to code/deploy.
Browser Dev Tools - Change UA in Network tab to test.

Thought Process:

Confirmed Page Rules limitation. Proposed Worker solution for UA redirection.
