Optimization Guide

How This Tool Helps Before Publishing

A little context makes the numbers more useful. Use these notes to understand where this tool fits inside content, SEO and website reviews.

Review migration mappings

Check source and destination pairs before launch so old URLs point to the right new pages without obvious redirect loops.

Choose the right status

Permanent migrations usually use 301 or 308 responses, while temporary redirects are better for tests, campaigns or short-lived changes.

Catch origin changes

The checker highlights same-origin and cross-origin destinations, which helps QA domain moves, HTTPS changes and external redirects.

Private browser checks

Redirect rules are parsed locally in your browser, so migration spreadsheets and client URL mappings are not uploaded.
