Redirect Map — Migration Preflight Sample

A useful tool before the sales pitch

Redirect Map is an independent working prototype for teams preparing a website migration. Paste a source,target CSV, check the planned routes, select a finding, and see the path and suggested correction. The screenshots show the actual app using fictional data.

What works

The checker identifies redirect loops, conflicting destinations, duplicate mappings, extra hops, HTTP downgrades and query changes. It follows downstream routes, distinguishes blocking errors from items needing review, and exports a JSON report. Editing the input makes old results stale and disables export until checked again. Input stays in the browser tab; it is not uploaded or saved.

Why build it?

My growth hypothesis is that a useful pre-signup tool could help a SaaS company attract qualified migration users. A paid experiment would choose an audience and distribution route, then measure completed checks, qualified next steps and activation. This is a hypothesis, not a measured conversion result or a claim that existing redirect products lack validation.

Ownership and verification

I direct the brief, scope, priorities and review with AI implementing and testing the software. This sample uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Nine automated checks passed. Independent review found two false-clear edge cases; both were corrected and covered by regression tests. Desktop and phone layouts, keyboard execution, changed-input export gating and a real downloaded report were checked.

Current outcome

The working sample is privately deployed, and this public case shares screenshot proof. No customer adoption or growth uplift has been measured. Source and the working implementation remain private for a paid engagement.

Scope

This checks exact mappings in the CSV. Live HTTP responses, DNS, TLS, wildcard rules, platform forwarding and production behavior need separate validation. It is an independent capability sample, not commissioned client work or an endorsement.
