FAQ

Why are redirects critical in migrations?
They preserve equity and prevent broken paths for users and crawlers.

How do we validate redirects?
Crawl diffing + mapping verification + log sampling for 404s and chains.

What’s a common failure mode?
Redirect chains, missing mappings, or inconsistent rules across environments.

How do we keep it auditable?
Store mapping decisions and verification results as evidence artifacts.

What’s the first improvement?
Create a 1:1 mapping for top traffic URLs and validate with a crawl.
