Bulk Redirect Checker

Why Use Bulk Redirect Testing?

Bulk redirect checking is essential for managing websites with multiple pages. Instead of testing redirects one at a time, process hundreds or thousands of URLs simultaneously to:

• Save Hours of Time: Test 100 URLs in minutes instead of hours
• Complete Coverage: Ensure no broken redirects slip through
• Pre-Launch Validation: Verify all redirects before site launch
• Post-Migration Audits: Check every migrated URL at once
• Regular Monitoring: Audit entire site weekly or monthly

Perfect for Website Migrations

During a website migration, you need to verify hundreds or thousands of redirects. Our bulk checker handles:

• Entire Sitemap Testing: Upload your sitemap URLs
• Old-to-New Mapping: Verify all old URLs redirect to new locations
• Status Code Verification: Ensure all 301 redirects are configured correctly
• Chain Detection: Find multi-hop redirects across entire site
• Performance Analysis: Identify slow redirects impacting UX

Method 2: From Sitemap

What Bulk Testing Reveals

Redirect Status Codes

See at a glance which URLs use which redirect types:

• 301 - Permanent redirects (best for SEO)
• 302 - Temporary redirects (don't pass link equity)
• 307 - Temporary with method preservation
• 308 - Permanent with method preservation
• 404 - Broken redirects that need fixing

Redirect Chains

Identify URLs that redirect through multiple hops (A→B→C→D). Each hop adds latency and may lose SEO value. Bulk testing shows:

• Total chain length for each URL
• All intermediate URLs in the chain
• Cumulative response time
• Which URLs need consolidation

Platform-Specific Bulk Testing

Different platforms benefit from bulk redirect testing:

WordPress Sites

Test all WordPress redirects after permalink changes, plugin updates, or migrations. Verify Redirection plugin configuration across hundreds of posts and pages.

Shopify Stores

Wix Websites

Verify all Wix redirects after site reorganization or page renames. Test entire URL redirect manager configuration at once.

• Test all old domain URLs at once
• Verify every URL redirects to new domain
• Ensure page-level redirects (not just homepage)
• Check both www and non-www versions
• Test HTTP to HTTPS redirects

Ongoing Monitoring

Set up regular link monitoring with bulk testing:

• Weekly Audits: Test all critical URLs weekly
• Post-Update Checks: Verify after CMS or plugin updates
• Monthly Site Audits: Comprehensive redirect health check
• Pre-Deployment: Test staging before production

Export and Report

After bulk testing, use results for:

• Client Reports: Show redirect audit results
• Developer Handoff: List of redirects needing fixes
