1Step-by-Step Guide

Enter the path pattern

Type the regex pattern used in your server config (e.g., ^/blog/([0-9]+)$).

Provide test URLs

Enter several URLs to see which ones trigger the match.

Set appropriate flags

Usually, URL matching is case-insensitive, so adding the 'i' flag is a common practice.

Confirm path matching

Ensure your pattern doesn't catch unintended paths like API endpoints or static files.
