orkaHelp Center Redirect Map Generator
Compare two article inventories and build a reviewable redirect map before your old help center goes offline. Supply one URL per line, XML sitemap text or a public .xml sitemap address.
Worked example
An old /articles/reset-password page and a new /account/reset-password page share the final slug. The CSV stores both addresses with “Same final slug” as the reason to review the pair.
How it works
Matching starts with identical URLs, then checks for a single matching path or final slug. Similar slugs are suggested only when at least two words overlap and the best match clearly leads. Ambiguous destinations stay blank for a person to choose. Each list supports up to 500 URLs.
Google Search Central’s guide to redirects ↗Frequently asked questions
Can I paste a sitemap instead of copying individual links?
Yes. Paste XML from a URL sitemap or enter a public HTTPS .xml sitemap address. With a sitemap index, open the child file containing your help articles.
What if two translated articles use the same slug?
If both candidates survive the path and slug checks, the result flags an ambiguous match. Use the language and article content to choose the correct destination.
Does the CSV install 301 redirects?
It supplies source URLs, proposed destinations and match reasons. Review each row, implement permanent redirects at your host, then test that each old URL opens the intended article.
