Forwarding from Commerce Cloud to the external blog

[Kasia25]

We want to forward all requests to our commerce cloud shop address to an external Wordpress blog in a way the customer doesn’t see that he is leaving the shop page.

For the solution we need, it is important that not every page call in the blog is slowed down via several redirects in the SAP CC WCMS.

It is not a single forwarding of a link, but the forwarding of all blog page views.

The forwarding should best be set up on the load balancer, here we as partners cannot make any settings.
Within the SAP CC application (also WCMS) we actually configure the application.

If you see a similar configuration option elsewhere (not the load balancer), please let us know - at the moment
we don't see the WCMS as a solution.

This is not possible as a forward in Commerce Cloud as far as I am aware. You should look at putting a CDN in-front of Commerce Cloud & use the features of that CDN to bridge across the different actual websites as if they are a single website.

The only alternative, which might be usable for you is the Website redirect feature: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_COMMERCE_CLOUD_PUBLIC_CLOUD/0fa6bcf4736c46f78c248512391eb467/d88300faa.... You would need to test whether this works for you (external redirects not mentioned in the docs, but it seems like they should work) & it would be used to redirect to the blog on a different hostname, so users paying attention to the address bar would see two different sites.
