: Redirecting all old URLs in same domain I'm relaunching a new site on a current domain, currently there are hundreds of URLs. With the relaunch, all of the content will have new URLs and there

I'm relaunching a new site on a current domain, currently there are hundreds of URLs.

With the relaunch, all of the content will have new URLs and there will be no need for the old URLs.

I need to redirect all the old ones to the new URLs like for like.

It will take forever to redirect one by one using htaccess.

I don't mind if all the old URLs redirect to the new homepage just as long they're not 404 but would prefer like for like redirects.

What are my options?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but redirecting like to like is the only way that you will be able to keep your SEO in tact. So, your 3 options are:

301 redirects from all old pages to the home page and face the music that your site may encounter some form of automated negative seo algorithm by Google or Bing.
You use 404 or 410 statuses and lose any SEO that those pages gained over the months or years. This can reduce domain authorithy and rankings on other pages.
You want your SEO kepted in tact and face the music that you need to spend several hours remapping old urls to new urls.
