this site:
- `type`: Used to specify the layout type (e.g., `type: docs` for
documentation pages).
- `aliases`: (Optional) List of old URLs that should redirect to this page.
- `url`: (Optional) Overrides the default URL path constructed from the
filename.
+- `redirect_to`: (Optional) Sets up a client-side meta-refresh redirect to an
external URL.
For more details, see the [Hugo Front Matter
Documentation](https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/).
+### Managing Redirects
+
+To create a client-side redirect to an external URL, use the `redirect_to`
Front Matter field.
+
+1. Create a markdown file at the desired path (e.g., `content/en/KEYS.md` for
`/KEYS`).
+2. Add the `redirect_to` field in the Front Matter.
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: KEYS Redirect
+redirect_to: https://downloads.apache.org/kafka/KEYS
+---
+```
+
+This generates a standard HTML meta-refresh redirect. Note that this is a
client-side redirect; command-line tools like `curl` will not follow it
automatically unless they parse the HTML.
+
### Dynamic Version Linking
To maintain version-agnostic documentation, we use a custom system that
dynamically resolves version numbers in links and included files. This avoids
the need to manually update hundreds of version strings (e.g., from "43" to
"44") when releasing a new version.
