How to speed up site migrations with AI-powered redirect mapping
Migrating a large website is always daunting. Big traffic is at stake among many moving parts, technical challenges and stakeholder management.
Historically, one of the most onerous tasks in a migration plan has been redirect mapping. The painstaking process of matching URLs on your current site to the equivalent version on the new website.
Fortunately, this task that previously could involve teams of people combing through thousands of URLs can be drastically sped up with modern AI models.
