I thinks it's because redirect must be server side. So, depending of your deployment environment, you could try a _redirect file.

[Barbapapazes]

Here your response

https://github.com/nuxt/content/blob/main/src/runtime/composables/navigation.ts#L50

So, google.pl is not a URL from your project so no redirection is possible.

Did you remove pages/[...slug].vue after enabling documentDriven? If you don't remove [...slug].vue, enabling documentDriven is pointless because all routes will handle by this page and not by documentDriven's page.

I thinks it's because redirect must be server side

@Barbapapazes The redirection could happen on both sides. On SSG it will happen on client-side. The issue here is that page does not rendered by documentDriven. So redirect value didn't handled at all.

@farnabaz Without [...slug].vue the 404 error is the same due to nuxt-content not finding "google" in 'content', can nuxt-content just detect that if the link starts with http/https it runs a simple window.location? Especially since something like that happens when the SSR is activated. Such a big difference when it could work equally

[farnabaz]

External link should already handle by document-driven. see:

https://github.com/nuxt/content/blob/6f0c622d5dc5d5d243919b8bea54e1dd5faf45a1/src/runtime/plugins/documentDriven.ts#L256-L262

Do you mind proving the reproduction you've created using stackblitz starter?

[gitFoxCode]

@farnabaz https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-7erfxk?file=nuxt.config.ts

npm run dev

Go to /about, everything works fine,

npm run generate
npm run preview

Go to /about, 404 error

Thanks for reproduction, It seems that nitro's prerenderer does not process x-nitro-prerender header for redirected pages.

@pi0 I think Nitro should allow redirected routes to use this header, WDYT?
