The problem

A broken URL needs a relevant decision.

A broken legacy URL can send users and crawlers to a dead end.

Finding replacement pages manually becomes harder as the list grows.

A homepage redirect is not automatically a relevant replacement.

How it works

Add 404 URLs

Paste, upload CSV or import from your link report.

Engine compares against your sitemap or crawl data.

Use cases

Use one review flow for different 404 sources

01

Post-migration cleanup

Review broken legacy URLs that were not included in the original redirect plan.

Add the missing URLs manually and compare them with the current sitemap, crawl file or project crawl.

Missing legacy URLs - paste or upload
Current URL source - sitemap or crawl
Suggested targets - match reasons and score
Category fallback - review a relevant parent
02

Legacy URL cleanup

Review old URLs that still receive visits or remain in reports even though they are no longer part of the current crawl.

Keep those URLs in the same matching and review process as crawl-based 404s.

Manual URL input - include URLs outside the crawl
Relevant target review - prefer a relevant destination
Accepted suggestions - separate from review
CSV export - source and target pairs
03

Periodic site audits

Review broken URLs from a project crawl together with URLs collected outside that crawl.

Use the latest active project URLs as the target pool and keep manual additions in the same review queue.

Project crawl - use current live URLs
Sitemap input - fetch the target URL set
Manual additions - include uncrawled 404s
Fallback review - use only when appropriate
