# Default redirect behavior

How your swtchd link behaves when tests start, stop, or have no default.

When you create a swtchd link, you can set a **default redirect URL**.

* If no test is live, visitors go to the default URL.
* If you stop a test without picking a winner, swtchd routes 100% to your default.
* If you end a test by picking a winner, swtchd routes 100% to your chosen winner.
  * That winner becomes your new default.

If you don’t set a default URL and no test is live, swtchd shows a friendly “Nothing to show yet” page.
