Match your old URLs to the new site
Paste every old URL, one per line: from the old sitemap, or the Pages export in Search Console. Then paste the new site’s URLs. Full URLs or paths both work. Your lists stay in your browser.
Suggestions match on the words in each URL, not on what the pages say. Check every suggested redirect against the page it lands on before it goes live.
| Old URL | Suggested new URL | Status |

Why the map matters
It’s where redesigns lose traffic
Every old address that ranks or has links needs a redirect to its nearest equivalent. Miss them and the traffic goes with them.
Page to page, not everything to home
Google’s site-move guidance warns against sending many old pages to the home page. It can treat those as missing pages.
What this tool is not
It builds and checks the map from two lists. It doesn’t fetch live addresses or trace redirect chains.

02 Questions
What people ask
Where do I get the old URL list?
The current sitemap, a crawl of the site, and the Pages report in Search Console. Combine them so nothing with traffic is missed.
Which redirect type should I use?
A permanent one (301 or 308) for a move that’s staying.
How long should redirects stay?
Google advises keeping them for at least a year. Longer is better if other sites still link to the old addresses.
