URL redirects and broken links
What happens on a dead page, and the redirects you approve.

- How do I keep my old links when I move to Shopify?
List your old store's addresses once: SignalLane matches each one to a product, collection or page on your Shopify store and creates the Shopify redirects you approve, without replacing any you made.
- How do I use the Broken links page?
The Broken links page lists every page visitors reached and did not find, up to 50,000 pages kept for 400 days. Filter, sort, export, and fix or hide each page from its row's menu.
- How do redirect patterns work?
One pattern such as /old-shop/* covers every broken address that matches. It can send visitors on at once, or turn the matching pages SignalLane has recorded into Shopify redirects after a preview.
- How do redirect suggestions work?
SignalLane suggests Shopify redirects for broken pages and you choose which to create. It never creates one on its own, never touches yours, and its redirects stay if you uninstall.
- What does a shopper see on a page that no longer exists?
On any missing page SignalLane can show a card with similar products and somewhere else to go, which is never empty; send a shopper on from a dead product page; or do nothing. It helps shoppers; only a Shopify redirect fixes search.
- Why does SignalLane read my Shopify redirects?
So it never suggests a redirect over one you made. SignalLane reads your Shopify redirects list about once a day and when you choose Sync Shopify redirects. A sync never changes your redirects.
