## Fix redirect URL fragment encoding for single-page applications

[Access](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/policies/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-07-01-spa-redirect-fragment-fix/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Access now correctly preserves URL fragment characters (`/`, `?`, `=`, `&`, `;`) when redirecting users back to an application after login. Previously, these characters were encoded with `encodeURIComponent`, which mangled fragment-based routes used by single-page applications (SPAs).

For example, an SPA URL like `https://app.example.com/#/dashboard?tab=settings&view=advanced` would previously redirect to a broken URL after login. This is now handled correctly.

If your SPA users were experiencing broken navigation after authenticating through Access, this fix resolves the issue without any configuration changes.
