Describe the Bug

This issue was discussed in #7731 (closed), but has not been resolved for Vercel.

With Astro's redirects configured in SSR mode, but with pre-rendered pages, there is a brief flash of "Redirecting to... [url]" before being served the target url of the redirect.

This happens both in hybrid mode, and in server mode (when the pages being served have export const prerender = true; in their frontmatter). It seems not to happen when the source url for the redirect is /.

What's the expected result?

Redirection of pre-rendered pages in server (or hybrid) mode should happen seamlessly.

Hey @natemoo-re! Have you any update about this issue ? :)

I got around this with the following addition to my config (using the @astrojs/node adapter):

  // ...
  build: {
    redirects: false,
  },
  // ...

I have similar issue when deploying on github pages. I am using Astro 4.0.8. It works fine locally but in production It flashes for a brief moment.

It's worth opening a new issue with a new reproduction.
