Broken Links & Redirect Management

Fix 404s and redirect chains, recover lost link equity, and guide users to the right content. We scan your site, build a redirect map, and monitor for regressions so SEO and conversions keep moving forward.

Common problems we fix

Broken Internal Links

Orphaned URLs, deleted pages, moved content, and trailing-slash or case issues.

Redirect Chains

Multiple hops, mixed protocols (HTTP→HTTPS), and non-www/www conflicts.

Legacy URL Mapping

Map old structures to new slugs with regex rules and fallback patterns.

How we work

Our approach

  1. 1

    Discover

    Crawl + logs + Search Console to list 404s, soft-404s, and broken internal links.

  2. 2

    Map

    Consolidate duplicates, define canonical targets, and build redirect rules.

  3. 3

    Implement

    Deploy at server/WAF or plugin level with regex, wildcards, and priority order.

  4. 4

    Monitor

    Track errors, crawl budget, and lost/gained clicks; prevent new regressions.

FAQ

Broken Links & Redirects — FAQs

404s waste crawl budget, create poor UX, and leak link equity. Redirecting to the best match preserves authority and rankings.

No. Redirect relevant legacy URLs to strong equivalents. Truly obsolete pages can return 410 (Gone) to clean up the index faster.

Prefer server/WAF rules for performance and reliability. Plugins are fine for small sites but can add overhead if overused.

We point old URLs directly to the final destination, enforce canonical rules, and run crawls after deployment to catch new chains.
