🔀 Redirect Automation Tool

v5 · Web Edition

📥 Step 1 — Fetch Old Sitemap

Run this 3 days before go-live to capture the current site's URLs. The tool will try to auto-fetch; if blocked, paste the XML manually.

🌐 Auto-Fetch Sitemap

📋 Manual Paste (if auto-fetch fails)

If auto-fetch is blocked: go to xml-sitemaps.com → enter domain → Start → Download XML → open in Notepad → Select All → Copy → paste below.

🚀 Step 2 — Generate Redirect Map

Run this after go-live. Fetches the new sitemap, matches URLs using exact + fuzzy logic, and generates a full redirect mapping for review.

📋 Old Sitemap Status

No old sitemap loaded yet. Go to Step 1 first, or paste XML below.

🌐 Fetch New Sitemap

📤 Step 3 — Generate Upload File

Generates the Simplotel-format CSV (with !@#$!@#$ delimiter). Skipped rows are excluded automatically. Download and upload in Simplotel Admin.

📋 Mapping Status

No mapping found yet. Complete Steps 1 and 2 first.

🔁 Domain Change Redirects

Use when the website content is the same but the domain name changed (e.g. kavyaresortandspa.com → kavyahimalayas.com). Fetches the new sitemap and maps every URL's path from old domain to new.

🔁 Domain Change Setup

Every path on the old domain will redirect to the identical path on the new domain. Only the domain name changes — all paths stay the same.

📖 How to Use

Full workflow guide for both normal site migrations and domain-only changes.

🔄 Normal Migration Workflow

Step 1 (3 days before go-live): Fetch and backup the old site's sitemap.

Step 2 (after go-live): Enter new domain, fetch new sitemap, generate redirect mapping. Review yellow rows and fix homepage fallbacks.

Step 3: Generate the Simplotel upload CSV. Download and upload in Simplotel Admin → Operations → Redirects.

🔁 Domain Change Workflow

Use when the website is identical but the domain changed. Enter old + new domain. The tool fetches the new sitemap and maps every path from old → new domain. Upload the generated CSV directly.

🎨 Match Type Legend

🟢 Exact — Path matches perfectly. No action needed.
🔵 Fuzzy — Keyword-matched. Spot-check these rows to confirm the destination makes sense.
🟡 Homepage fallback — No match found, defaulted to homepage. Fix these manually in Step 2 before generating the upload file.
Skipped — Same URL on both sites (no redirect needed, would loop) or a sitemap.xml URL (never redirect sitemaps).

⚠️ CORS Note — Why Auto-Fetch Sometimes Fails

Browsers block direct cross-origin requests to other websites (CORS). This tool tries 5 different CORS proxies in sequence before giving up. If all fail (some hotel servers block all proxies), a paste fallback will appear automatically — open the sitemap URL directly in your browser, Ctrl+A, Copy, paste into the box. This works for both old and new sitemaps.

📁 Upload Format

The CSV uses Simplotel's required delimiter format:
/old-path!@#$!@#$https://newdomain.com/new-path

One redirect per line. No headers. Upload at: Simplotel Admin → Operations → Redirects → Choose files → Save.
