Best Practices
Rate Limiting
The tool includes built-in rate limiting to prevent overwhelming target servers. For large lists, testing may take several minutes.
- Check your most important pages weekly to catch issues early.
- Always test your URLs after a site migration to ensure all redirects are working correctly.
- Keep redirect chains to a maximum of 3 hops to avoid SEO issues.
