Hi BHW fam,

So I am currently changing a domain on a site that has over 50-60k pages, I will setting up a 301 redirect, is there a tool that will automatically identify the exact url extension so instead of everything being redirected to the homepage they redirect to the correct page?

Basically domain now is example and new domain is example2, I want a tool that will automatically identify and setup a redirect from example/test.com and go to example2/test.com instead of manually setting them all up.

Thank you all in advance :)
 
For what you need, Screaming Frog is perfect. It can crawl, list all the URLs, and help you set up 301 redirects to the new domain without doing everything manually.
If you’re on WordPress, the "Redirection" plugin is also super handy for this.
 
Easy task can be done with cloudflare or even directly from your domain provider.
on both will gonna look something like:

https://domain1.com/* forward to https://domain2.com/$1

And for domain providers you can do some research cause is pretty the same thing.

Or using htaccess but is not newbie friendly so you need to do some in depth research about it. But if you use clouflare then it is an easy task.

By the way from where did you get a domain that has 50-60K pages?
 
Google "wildcard redirect" , I think it is in the options if you use namecheap Cpanel
 
Hmm, that’s a great idea.
From where do you get cheap domains?
 
If you use a load balancer, it can support that. Otherwise, you can temporarily set up one server during this time
