1. SPEEDYINDEX · SEO INFOGRAPHIC The Post-Migration Audit, End to End How do you run a post-migration SEO audit — and prove your 301 redirects actually transferred indexation instead of just shipping? Two tracks, verified per URL 1 TRACK A · OLD URLS TRACK B · NEW URLS The redirects The targets ✓ Every old URL returns a 301 — not 302/307, not 200, not 404 ✓ Return 200 — no error pages behind clean redirects ✓ One hop to the final target — chains flattened at the rule level ✓ Indexable — no staging noindex leftovers, canonical to self ✓ Lands on the mapped target — not just "any 200" ✓ Indexed — bulk-checked per segment at day 7 and day 30 ✓ Legacy sitemap kept live — a ready recrawl list for the crawler ✓ Content parity spot-checked on money pages The loop that transfers equity: an unvisited 301 transfers nothing. Find log-cold old URLs, drive their recrawl (drip-fed), measure the transfer, repeat. ⟳ Redirect-chain severity scale 2 1 hop 2 hops 3–5 hops Loops / limit Clean. The target state for every old URL. Works, wastes crawl. Flatten soon. Decay risk — schedule the fix this sprint. Hard failure — the crawler abandons the trail. Google's documentation describes a limited number of redirect hops before the crawler gives up — chains are a failure mode, not a cosmetic issue. Count the HTTP→HTTPS and slash-normalization layers too: the crawler does. The launch-month monitoring strip 3 Day 0 Full-list status + hop check LAUNCH Every old URL: final status, hop count, landing URL diffed against the mapping file. Day 3 Recrawl started? LOGS Googlebot hits on old URLs in server logs. Cold segments → schedule driven recrawl. Day 7 First transfer reading INDEX DELTA Bulk index check of new URLs per segment; old URLs beginning to drop out is healthy. Day 14 Chain cleanup verified CHAINS One-hop share re-measured after rule fixes. Day 30 Transfer curve per segment VERDICT Flat segments go back to diagnosis — recrawl, chains, or target quality. No rollbacks by average. Close the migration in weeks, not quarters Redirect Checker, Bulk Index Checker, and drip-fed recrawl of old URLs — with Pay-per-Result pricing and auto-refunds.
