About static site file resolution

The resolution flow for files hosted in the static site is as follows:

  • If the URL matches a folder in the mapped folder, the index.html file is served.

  • If the URL with a / appended matches a folder in the mapped folder which contains an index.html file, that index.html is served.

  • If the URL matches a file in the mapped folder, that file is served.

  • If the URL does not match a file or folder (or the index.html file does not exist), a 404.html file from the root of the mapped folder is served.

  • If the 404.html file does not exist, the request is forwarded to the Squiz Content Management instance to which the domain is linked.

If file resolution is not behaving as described, review Troubleshooting static site issues in File Store to ensure your static site configuration is correct.
