# Redirect all requests to one URL

Redirect every incoming request to a single destination URL directly from Azion's global network. This is helpful during maintenance windows or downtime, when you want to point all visitors to a status page or an alternate site without changing your origin.

```js
  const destinationURL = "https://www.azion.com/en/"
  const statusCode = 301
  
  async function handleRequest(request) {
    return Response.redirect(destinationURL, statusCode)
  }
  
  addEventListener("fetch", async event => {
    event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
  })
```

## How it works

The function registers a handler for the `fetch` event with `addEventListener`. Inside `handleRequest`, it calls `Response.redirect(destinationURL, statusCode)` to build a redirect response that points the browser to the configured URL, using the `301` status code to signal a permanent move. Because `destinationURL` and `statusCode` are constants, every request receives the same redirect regardless of the original path. `event.respondWith()` then returns that response, so visitors are redirected without the request ever reaching your origin.
