What is needed for implementation

On client side

1. Add custom url scheme inside Info -> URL Types section of target's settings.
2. Turn on Allow Arbitrary Loads flag inside info.plist.
3. Implement func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool method inside AppDelegate.

On server side

Implement redirection to custom url scheme using, for example, the next script on redirecting web page:

<script>
    var redirectToApp = function() {
        document.location = 'my-deep-link://smth';
    };

    window.onload = redirectToApp;
</script>
