Hey guys. Just looking at webstudio for the first time to see if I can use it for some sites, ie. if it got all the features I need. Now I'm not sure if I'm just blind or stupid, but is there no way to set rel= attributes for links?

It's funny because this is obviously AI generated as well looking at the semantic triples and language syntax. Good luck with your new project or job role that you are finding 🙂

Is there any way to create custom 404 pages for a project hosted through Webstudio? There's nothing about 404 pages in the doc and after having spent 2-3 days on setting up a site in it that I planned on launching today, I have to say I'm kind of shocked by the sloppy DevOps design particularly when it comes to SEO: Zero control over robots.txt, no custom 404 pages, no control over trailing slashes vs non trailing slashes (and appropriate redirects), limited control over redirects because of the attempt to cram this into the GUI instead of just using a plain editable _redirects file, etc.. These issues make Webstudio practically unusable for sites that rely on SEO and yet its "SEO features" are being promoted in the main nav when in reality it doesn't even cover the most basic fundamentals of technical SEO, like being able to control the robots.txt content or managing hundreds of redirects in a manner that doesn't require the customer to spend a week adding them one by one via the GUI.

^ I know the above doesn't sound very exiting, but please take it as constructive feedback. The builder itself is great and I was really looking forward to launching my first Webstudio site, which is why I'm so disappointed by the above issues that make it impossible for me to use your otherwise amazing solution in prod.

Happy weekend! I've got a couple of question/issues:

1.) What if I need to add say 400 redirects or more complex dynamic ones. I assumed there would be an option to edit the _redirects file that Cloudflare uses, but there is only a very simplistic GUI for redirects. This neither allows for bulk managing redirects nor does it allow for anything other than "redirect slug A to slug B".

a) How can I set www to non-www redirects and the other way around?
b) How can I set trailing slash to non trailing slash redirects or the other way around?

Both A and B above could be two simple dropdown settings on project level to avoid the mess of duplicated URLs being indexed.

2.) The doc mentions robots.txt rules are supported but I can't seem to find any setting or way to edit the robots.txt. Do I need to create a new page for it and use robots.txt as path or how does this work? I assume this would just create an HTML file (or XML) as there is no option for TXT/plain text?

3.) There doesn't seem to be an option to noindex the wstd.io subdomains or remove them from the "Publish" settings because it's not needed when using an external domain. The way things currently work, Google is indexing duplicates of your customers' websites under your subdomain (see https://www.google.com/search?q=site:wstd.io). There should be a setting for "global noindex" for those subdomains and it might make sense to have this enabled by default; at least when an external domain was added to the project.

Related to the above: are there any plans on automatically pulling embedded images that are part of the markup (content embed) into assets and replacing URLs "on the fly" or is there a workaround for this?

My primary use case is content heavy sites. And the workflow that my editors are used to is that they format the content in a visual editor and include contextual images etc in it. If I use something like Tina (or pull post content from WordPress via GraphQL), this means those images would be part of the content embed within the Webstudio components. This would mean there's no image compression/optimization etc applied to those contextual images, which is of course not ideal.

How can I set the color and styling for hyperlinks for an entire Box? I can't find anything in the typography section (where I'd expect to find this as a dumb WordPress user) so I'm wondering what the best approach is.
