Error message

There are routes that match both page and redirect. Pages take precedence over redirects so the redirect will not work:\n${redirectMatchingPageWarnings}

What it means

Fires in writeRedirects during bootstrap when a redirect's fromPath collides with a generated page route. Since Gatsby serves the page first, the redirect is dead configuration; the warning lists each colliding page/redirect pair (also flagging case-insensitive duplicates of the same path).

Solutions

1. Change the redirect's fromPath to a route not occupied by a real page
2. Remove the redirect if the page already covers the route
3. Fix casing mismatches between fromPath and the page path (redirects are often lowercased via ignoreCase)
