Redirect audit

Review the whole path, not only the first status code.

Redirect audits follow each hop, confirm the final destination, identify loops and chains, compare internal links, and determine whether the status matches the intended permanence. Implementation should preserve a provisional period when safe rollback matters.

What the workflow must answer

Keep the operating question attached to the evidence.

01

Map every hop

Record source, intermediate URLs, status codes, and the final response instead of summarizing the chain as one redirect.

02

Confirm intent

Distinguish migrations and permanent consolidation from campaigns, experiments, and temporary routing.

03

Update the source graph

Replace internal links and sitemap entries that continue pointing through avoidable redirects.

Field guide structure

Move from definition to evidence to a testable next step.

A useful guide names the condition, the false-positive questions, the operational owner, and the proof needed to close the loop.

An accountable trail

A useful state says exactly what happened.

  1. 01Observed

    The source evidence is recorded.

  2. 02Interpreted

    The condition is reviewed in context.

  3. 03Decided

    An authorized person chooses the next state.

  4. 04Applied

    A supported destination accepts the action.

  5. 05Verified

    The public result is read independently.

  6. 06Reported

    The claim matches the available evidence.

Product truth

Automation prepares work. Authority stays visible.

  1. 01
    No hidden autopilot

    Netrix does not publish AI drafts or apply SEO changes without an explicit authorized action.

  2. 02
    No optimistic verification

    An accepted write and a confirmed public value remain different states, and an unreadable page stays unknown.

  3. 03
    No invented scope

    Pages describe the product’s current boundary and name external providers or unfinished paths where they matter.
