Redirect Map Generator – 301 Redirects for Site Migration

Moving a website to a new domain, or buying an old domain to point at your site? Lost 301 redirects are the most common way to lose rankings and backlink value in a migration. This tool finds every old URL and maps it to the best page on the new site, in one run.

• Every old URL: pages the Internet Archive has saved for the old domain and its subdomains, plus every old page other sites still link to.
• Link value first: each old URL shows how many sites link to it and the strongest one, so you fix what matters first.
• Best new page: same path first, then the closest page by URL words and page titles (works in any language, also with æøå and accents). Pages with no good match go to your fallback page instead of a wrong one.
• Status now: each old URL is requested now (200, 301, 404 or dead), so you see which backlinks are leaking today.
• Ready to paste: a .htaccess (Apache / LiteSpeed), an nginx config and a CSV for Netlify, Vercel, Shopify, Webflow or WordPress redirect plugins. One hop, query strings dropped, domain verification files left alone, catch-all last.

Built for site migrations and redesigns, domain changes and rebrands, platform switches (WordPress to Webflow, Shopify and others), merging sites, and SEOs who buy expired domains for their backlinks.

Example output row

{"old_url": "https://haugesund-aerobic.no/kontakt-oss", "new_url": "https://gardfysikalske.no/kontakt", "match": "slug", "confidence": 0.99, "referring_domains": 1, "best_linking_domain": "www.norskkundeservice.com", "current_status": "301"}

The .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?haugesund\-aerobic\.no$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^kontakt-oss/?$ https://gardfysikalske.no/kontakt? [R=301,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^$ https://gardfysikalske.no/? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^ https://gardfysikalske.no/? [R=301,L]

Download htaccess.txt, nginx.conf and redirects.csv from the run's Storage tab (key-value store) or through the API.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

• $0.50 per domain mapped (includes the backlink lookup).
• $0.002 per old URL mapped.
• $0.002 per run start.

Examples: a site with 100 old URLs costs $0.70. A 1,000-URL migration costs $2.50. An old domain with no archived pages and no backlinks is not charged beyond the start. The pre-filled example is served from a saved run and costs only the start fee.

Input

Field	What it does
oldDomain	The domain you are moving away from.
newDomain	The domain the old pages should go to.
includeSubdomains	Also map blog., shop., event. and other subdomains (default on).
fallbackUrl	Where unmatched pages go (default: the new front page).
checkLiveStatus	Request each old URL now and show its status (default on).
maxOldUrls	Up to 5,000; pages with backlinks come first.

Good to know

• Live maps need a paid Apify plan (any plan); the pre-filled example works on the free plan.
• Check the fallback rows before you go live: a human often knows the right page (a renamed service, a moved office). Edit the CSV or the rule, and keep the rest.
• The new site's pages come from its sitemap (or the links on its front page if it has none), up to 500 pages.
• Old URLs come from the Internet Archive and from backlink data (via DataForSEO). Pages that were never archived and have no backlinks cannot be found.
• Not affiliated with the Internet Archive.
