They’ve launched the website migration checker, and I’m not going to lie, I was super impressed when I used it.
Obviously, it’s not going to do all the work for you, but it will help with the heavy lifting.
1. You still have to collect a list of all the pages on the old site yourself.
2. You still have to determine which pages on the new site the old pages should redirect to.
But it solves one of the biggest problems that happens after you migrate from an old site to the new site: You have to do two separate audits for both the old and new site. To compare what changed.
Then you have to look for changes in the report(s), which is a task within itself!
Sitechecker saw an opportunity in the market that no other tool was tackling this problem.
Sitechecker can do all of this now for you.
You need to upload your migration plan as a .xls file with three columns, and you will receive an error report.
For each planned redirect, you will receive one of 8 statuses:
Successful response:
1. Redirect successful
Warnings:
2. Redirected URL responds 2xx
3. Wrong redirect type
Critical errors:
4. Redirected URL responds 4xx
5. Redirected URL responds 5xx
6. Wrong final URL
7. Final URL responds 4xx
8. Final URL responds 5xx
This is an inexpensive tool. You don't even need a Sitechecker subscription to use it. One check, up to 10K pages, costs $5 per check.
Have you heard of sitechecker before?
