Free redirect map CSV template for website migrations

A simple redirect map needs two columns: old_url and new_url. Use complete HTTP(S) URLs so your developer can distinguish domains and protocols.

old_url,new_url
https://old.example.com/tea,https://new.example.com/guides/tea
https://old.example.com/about,https://new.example.com/our-story

Use the template

  1. Replace all example URLs with your actual source and destination URLs.
  2. Check that the destination serves an equivalent purpose.
  3. Keep one rule per source URL. Do not add redirects for unchanged absolute URLs.
  4. Keep exclusions and their reasons in a separate decision record.
  5. Run the free structural checker.
  6. Ask your developer to translate and test the map for your hosting platform.

Is this a Shopify, Webflow or Apache import file?

No. This is a platform-neutral handoff format. Those platforms have their own import formats or rule syntax, and some accept paths rather than full URLs. Check the current platform documentation before importing.

Need to track the review as well?

The Redirect Ledger workbench adds local matching, approval decisions, exclusions, project backups and an HTML handoff report.
