Past checks
Keep previous redirect results tied to projects and folders.
History
Keep redirect history instead of starting from zero
Redirects change after migrations, deploys and CMS edits. History helps teams understand what changed and when.
Change visibility
See when status codes, chains or final destinations change.
Audit trail
Explain issues to stakeholders with context instead of screenshots.
How history turns checks into evidence
Run checks over time for the same project or folder.
Compare changes in status, final URL, hops and issues.
Use the history to explain when a redirect broke or changed.
Change evidence
Redirect history explains when something changed
Without history, every check feels like the first check. Saved results make it easier to prove whether a problem is new, fixed, recurring or caused by a recent deployment.
Before and after
Compare launch checks, post-deploy checks and later weekly reviews.
Client clarity
Show progress with evidence instead of screenshots and memory.
Root cause
Connect redirect changes to releases, CMS edits or rule updates.
For recurring SEO QA
Weekly monitoring is more useful when each check has a previous result to compare against.
For reporting
History helps turn technical redirect issues into clear action lists.
FAQ
Key questions
What does redirect history store?
It stores previous check results so teams can compare what changed over time.
Is history useful for clients?
Yes. It helps show whether an issue is new, recurring or already fixed.
How is this different from a spreadsheet?
Redirects Master keeps history connected to projects, folders and issue types instead of isolated files.
Why is redirect history useful after a migration?
It shows whether fixes stayed fixed and whether new problems appeared after deployment, CMS edits or later redirect rule changes.
Can history help with accountability?
Yes. It makes it easier to discuss what changed, when it changed and whether the latest result is better or worse than before.
Do I still need exports if I have history?
Usually yes. History helps you understand changes; exports help you share or hand off the current issues.
