How do automatic redirects work?

Automatic redirects are a powerful tool that use JavaScript in the browser to detect and reroute broken URLs that match one of five preset URL structures and forward them to fixed destination URLs:

1. Product pages (e.g. /products/*).
2. Collection pages (e.g. /collections/*).
3. Pages (e.g. /pages/*).
4. Blogs and blog posts (e.g. /blogs/*).
5. All other broken links (e.g. /*).
