Migration URL audit

Old URLs in. Status, hop count, and final destination out. No surprises on launch day.

The input list is historical

Start from the pre-launch inventory: the last production sitemap, GSC indexed URLs, and top landing pages from analytics.

What to score on every row

Final status, hop count, protocol, host, whether the destination is indexable, and whether the canonical agrees with the URL Google will see.

After go-live

Re-run the same list, not a new spider. Request recrawl in Search Console only after the list crawl is clean.
