What Is the Redirect Mapper?
When you change URLs during a site migration or restructure, you need redirects to preserve SEO value and prevent broken links. The Redirect Mapper lets you plan old-to-new URL mappings and generates redirect code for Nginx and Apache servers.
Proper redirects preserve your hard-earned search rankings and prevent 404 errors.
How It Works
Enter pairs of old and new URLs. The tool generates the correct redirect syntax for both Nginx (rewrite rules) and Apache (.htaccess) configurations. Copy the code and add it to your server configuration.

Common mistakes to avoid

Frequently asked questions
Should I use 301 or 302 redirects?
Use 301 (permanent) for URL changes you don't plan to reverse. Use 302 (temporary) for short-term redirects. This tool generates 301 redirects since site migrations are permanent.
