Hey everyone! Thank you for your feedback.
Whether it is positive or negative, I do appreciate it as it helps me to learn and improve the product. I really didn't expect this to get any attention, let alone dozens of comments!
To clarify: This was originally designed to help me auto migrate URL schema. I am learning as I develop this website, and SEO has been one of those vague topics where there are few hard rules. I wanted to leave space for experimentation. As I rolled it out, I became intrigued with how it functions and wanted to share my experiment with you to get feedback.
Based on the feedback, I plan to change the logic such that:
- I will track which URLs are associated with which products
- If user hits 404, I will check if there was previously a product associated with that URL and redirect accordingly
- If it is a new 404, I will display a 404 page which lists products with similar names
I appreciate everyone hopping in to share their perspective!
- politelemon 2y ago> If it is a new 404, I will display a 404 page which lists products with similar names Best compromise is that. It is still a 404 but with a "Did you mean" element to it, which is still useful to end users
