Look Over There!⁠

This is a domain redirection (URL forwarding) server.

Look Over There! was written to help with web archiving. You can use it to forward your old sites to their archived versions on archive.org (or to any other web URL) to ensure existing links to your site do not break.

Look Over There! automatically provisions SSL certificates redirected domains.

Due to Let’s Encrypt rate limits, you can add up to 98 redirections (maximum 10 every 3 hours).

Look Over There! is part of a series of tools and processes by Small Technology Foundation to cultivate an evergreen web where we don’t arbitrarily break old links.

Another such initiative is 404 → 307, where missing pages on the latest version of a site are forwarded to the old version of a site that is still running on a different server.

Kitten, which Look Over There! is written in, has native support for 404 → 307.
