How Pages Work with Routes

This page explains how Pages and Routes work together to create a live URL.

The Route to Page relationship

A Route controls the URL and chooses which Page to serve.

In the simplest setup:

• One Route points to one Page

In more advanced setups:

• One Route can point to different Pages depending on conditions (for example locale)

What the Route controls

Even when you are focused on editing a Page, the Route still matters because it can control:

• The layout type for the URL
• Route-level SEO overrides
• Route-level navigation overrides

How to find the right Page for a URL

Common ways to find the correct Page:

• Start in Pages and search by the Page’s internal name
• Start from the Route for the URL you want to change, then open the referenced Page

Publishing order when both changed

If you edited both a Page and its Route:

1. Publish the Page
2. Publish the Route

This helps ensure the Route is pointing at the latest published Page.
