• 1 Why do you want to redirect from / to /? That will cause an infinite loop and therefore a Too Many Redirects error in the browser. FYI http://localhost:5013 and http://localhost:5013/Index both point to the same page in your app. – Mike Brind Commented Feb 7 at 11:16
• 1 app.MapGet("/", () => Results.Redirect("/Index")) is in Program.cs. without this line is app automatically redirects to Pages/Index.cshtml ? mapget is not a need for default main page? answer : I learned something new today. mapget is not a need for initial page. it automatically loads Pages/Index pages without mapget routing code. – Fables Alive Commented Feb 7 at 11:22

Actually, this is related with how you set the route for your page.

For example, if you set the route as below inside the index page, then the default page for the / is the index. There is no need to use mapget again.

@page "/"
@model IndexModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home page";
}

<div class="text-center">
    <h1 class="display-4">Welcome</h1>
    <p>Learn about <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core">building Web apps with ASP.NET Core</a>.</p>
</div>

Also if you want to set some custom route for specific page, you could use AddPageRoute method directly inside the page options.

builder.Services.AddRazorPages().AddRazorPagesOptions(options => {

     options.Conventions.AddPageRoute("/Index", "/test");
 
});
