FAQ

Below you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding Origin Rules.

​​ What happens if I use both an Origin Rule and a Page Rule to perform a Host header/resolve override?

In this situation the Origin Rule parameters will override the Page Rule Open external link parameters. Consider the following example scenarios:

• A Page Rule defines a Host header override, but not an resolve override. An Origin Rule defines an resolve override, but not a Host header override. The resulting request will have the Host header defined by the Page Rule and the origin hostname defined by the Origin Rule.
• A Page Rule defines a Host header override, and an Origin Rule also defines a Host header override. The resulting request will have the Host header defined by the Origin Rule.

​​ Will Cloudflare automatically migrate my Page Rules with Host header and resolve overrides to Origin Rules?

No. This is currently a manual process, since your Page Rules may include additional settings that Origin Rules do not currently support.
