What problem does it solve?
Redirect mismanagement causes SEO traffic loss through chains that dilute link equity, loops that create crawl errors, and broken redirects that return 404s for previously indexed URLs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Create and deploy 301/302 redirects: Generate new redirect rules for site migrations, URL restructuring, HTTPS upgrades, and temporary routing.
- Audit redirect health end-to-end: Crawl configured redirect rules and detect chains, loops, duplicates, mixed protocol issues, and broken targets.
- Fix issues with an approval gate: Propose hop-reduction fixes for chains, cycle-breaking updates for loops, and target repairs for dead destinations, then deploy via connected CMS MCP.
- Verify and log for auditability: Test post-deployment HTTP behavior and write detailed change logs (including rollback instructions) via seo-executor.py.
- Use Case: During a blog URL migration, audit existing redirects to find looped or chain redirects, then fix them and verify that every legacy URL resolves in a single hop to the intended new post.
Quick Start
Run redirect-manager with an audit followed by a fix for the current CMS redirects, then approve the proposed changes to deploy and verify the results.
