A redirect map is the plan for a migration: every old URL, its destination and the redirect type. It is usually built from a crawl of the old site.
After launch, the map is checked by crawling the old URLs to confirm each one lands in the right place.
Migrations without a complete redirect map lose traffic and links. The map is the single most important migration deliverable.
VisibilityKit Crawler can export a redirect map from a crawl, and its migration-list preset checks a list of old URLs to verify each redirect after launch.
Each old URL, its new destination and the intended redirect type, usually 301.
Crawl the list of old URLs and confirm each returns a single redirect to the right destination.
A 301 redirect signals a permanent move; a 302 signals a temporary one.
A sequence of two or more redirects between the requested URL and the final destination.
Crawling only a supplied list of URLs, without following their links.
