Redirect to an external website with Remix

Remix gives us a useful redirect helper function which lets us quickly create a new redirect Response object. You can use this function to redirect from a loader or action to another app route and another website. Let's see how.

export async function action() {
  return redirect("https://google.com");
}

That's it. Just return a redirect response with the URL you want to redirect. You can also pass a status code as a second argument, which defaults to 302.

You can do the same from a loader:

export async function loader() {
  return redirect("https://google.com");
}
