http to https migration will affect redirects?

If the source URLs are relative to the site then they will work on any domain.

Hi John,
could you please expand on your answer?
It is not clear to me,

Thank you very much!

I don’t fully understand your question, and without knowing more about the details I can only give a vague response. If the source URLs of your redirects are relative to the site (i.e. /some-url-to-redirect) then they will work regardless of what the domain is.

Hi John,
thanks for your reply.

I will try to be more detailed.

I have a blog, let’s name it https://blog.com
in my articles I have some links.

I created a separate website let’s call it https://lnk.com in which I installed your plugin and in which I set up thousands of redirects that look like this:

https://lnk.com/1
https://lnk.com/2
https://lnk.com/3
https://lnk.com/134324
etc.

Every time in https://blog.com I link to an external source I use the https://lnk.com/23423 format. It is kinda my own URL shortener.

Now I am about to update both:
https://blog.com and https://lnk.com from HTTP to HTTPS

I am worried that after I make this move, all my
https://lnk.com/134324 links will not work anymore, and I will need to go inside https://blog.com and update all thousands of links to https://lnk.com/134324

So the question:

Is this the case?
Will I need to update all links to https from within my articles?

Will the redirect be slower because for example a random redirect has to go from https://lnk.com/134324 to https://lnk.com/134324 and then to LANDING WEBSITE?

I see how this question looks complicated, I hope I made it more clear!

Thank you very much,
D.
