Migration Tools

Everything you need for a successful, zero-traffic-loss migration.

Pre-Migration Baseline

Redirect Validation

Verify every redirect mapping. Detect 404s, redirect chains, loops, and incorrect destinations.

Before/After Comparison

Compare pre and post-migration crawls to identify missing pages, changed URLs, and lost content.

Orphaned Page Detection

Find pages that exist but have no internal links pointing to them after migration.

Post-Migration Verification

Comprehensive checks to ensure all content, metadata, and links are properly migrated.

Staging Site Support

Crawl staging environments to validate migrations before going live.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I crawl before a site migration?

Before migration, crawl your entire site to create a baseline. Export all URLs, their status codes, meta data, internal links, and canonical tags. This baseline is crucial for post-migration comparison to ensure nothing is lost.

How do I validate redirects after migration?

Upload your pre-migration URL list and crawl your new site. Onpage.ai will check each old URL to verify it redirects (301) to the correct new location, identify any broken redirects, redirect chains, or 404 errors.

What causes traffic loss during migrations?

Common causes include missing or incorrect redirects, redirect chains (multiple hops), broken internal links, missing meta tags, changed canonical URLs, lost backlinks, and orphaned pages. Onpage.ai helps you identify and fix all of these.
